INGREDIENTS
- 180g halloumi cheese, in 4 thick slices
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- pinch of smoked paprika (optional)
- 2 bread rolls (seeded wholemeal, rustic wholemeal)
- 2 tbsp tzatziki
- Garnish
- rocket or lettuce leaves
- thinly sliced red onion
- sliced tomato
METHOD
- Lightly brush the halloumi slices with olive oil.
- Heat a non-stick pan on medium-high heat. Cook the halloumi for 2 – 3 minutes on both sides, or until golden brown. Sprinkle with a pinch of paprika and set aside.
- Lightly brush the cut sides of the rolls with olive oil and lightly toast them in the pan.
- Add lettuce to the bottom half of the rolls and place the slices of halloumi on top.
- Spoon over the tzatziki. As an alternative to tzatziki you can use Greek yoghurt with finely chopped mint added. Green or red pesto also works well.
- Add the remaining garnishes and top with the other half of the roll. Feel free to add any other garnishes you fancy.
