JoanneFried Halloumi Cheese with Caper and Basil Dressing
This is a recipe from Delia Smith, it's tangy, salty and delicious, perfect for a summer evening. Her original recipe uses coriander but we much prefer basil, so use that instead. Don't season the dressing with salt, as halloumi is really salty already. Fry the cheese just before you're ready to serve, as it needs to be fresh and hot, as it cools it becomes rubbery. This would serve 4 as an appetizer and 2 as part of a main course.
