Halloumi Bites
by Nigella. Featured in NIGELLA EXPRESSIntroduction
These are messy to eat and are probably best as part of a table, rather than as a tray-bound snack. But I wouldn't count these out as finger food, so long as you dole out enough paper napkins.

Method
- Combine the oil, lime juice, pepper and parsley in a large shallow dish.
- Slice the drained halloumi into 5mm / ¼ inch-wide pieces, and then cut each slice in half again. Don't worry if bits splinter as you cut.
- Heat a heavy-based frying pan and dry-fry the slices of cheese, in batches, until golden on both sides — this should take only a minute or so in a hot pan.
- Put the fried halloumi into the shallow dish containing the other ingredients as you go, and then turn the halloumi about to coat each piece before turning into a serving dish.
