Halloumi Sticks-style grilled cheese sticks

Ingredients

Halloumi

• 250 g block halloumi cheese
• 1 tbsp olive oil

Sweet chilli dip

• 3 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
• 1 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tsp lime juice

Method

1. Cut. Cut halloumi into 1 cm thick sticks (about 8-10 per 250g block).
2. Heat. Heat a dry pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil.
3. Sear. Lay halloumi sticks in the pan. Don’t crowd. Sear 2 minutes per side until golden.
4. Dip. Whisk all dip ingredients together.
5. Serve. Hot, with the sweet chilli dip on the side.

Tips

• Block halloumi, not sliced. The stick shape is what makes it work.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan. Crowding = steaming, not searing.
• Sweet chilli dip is the standard. Hot honey works too.
