I love the punchy saltiness of halloumi and find it an invaluable standby, since it can be kept in its pack in the fridge for months. This is one of the many ways I cook it, and the confetti of red pepper gives glamour and heat.

Method

  1. Mix the chopped chilli and olive oil in a small bowl or cup and leave the flavours to deepen while you cook the cheese.
  2. I use a non-stick frying pan for this, without any oil, and just give the cheese slices about 2 minutes a side until they're golden-brown in parts.
  3. When all the slices of halloumi are cooked, transfer them to a couple of small plates.
  4. Give the chilli oil a stir, spoon it over the cheese, then give a spritz of lemon. That's all there is to it.
