How to Make Fried Halloumi Cheese With Lime And Caper Dressing

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan/Gas Mark 6).
  2. Pat the halloumi slices dry with paper towels.
  3. Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in an ovenproof skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
  4. Fry the halloumi for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
  5. While the halloumi is frying, prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, lime juice, capers, minced garlic, and chopped mint. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, until the halloumi is heated through.
  7. Remove from the oven, drizzle generously with the lime and caper dressing, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
