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.
