Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons chopped, seeded fresh red chile (about 2 medium chiles)
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 18 ounces halloumi, sliced medium-thin (i.e. just under 1/4-inch)
- 1/4 lemon, juiced
Instructions
- Mix the chopped chile and olive oil in a small bowl or cup and leave the flavors to deepen while you cook the cheese. I use a nonstick 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. When all the slices of halloumi are cooked, transfer them to a couple of small plates. Give the chile oil a stir, spoon it over the cheese, then give a spritz of lemon. That’s all there is to it.

Reviews
love halloumi with olive oil and lemon …it’s an easy starter for guests !! saves time for good ;
Really easy and quick to make. Perfect little starter to keep your friends or yourself going.
Nigella Lawson has been ahead of the American Cuisine for Years. Now that we can purchase Halloumi cheese makes it that much better, As for American termanology that a reader wanted a translation from English cookery terms there are quite lovely books to facilitate. In fact Miss Lawson’s books are all translated to American words and Imperial measurements.However, Metric wins every time. Accurate and spot on…
Really…. a simply… lovely… culinary outcome with this novel idea. But, shouldn’t you use American cooking terms regarding measurements, when broadcasting in the US? ….especially when you’re promoting lavendar US measuring cups?
