RECIPE TIPS
..IT WITH HALLOUMI
Griddled halloumi with herb & caper dressing. Heat a griddle pan until really hot. Cut a 240g pack vegetarian halloumi cheese into 8 slices, then cook for 2-3 mins each side. Remove from the pan and keep warm. Pour in 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, juice of ½ a lemon and 2 tbsp capers, then warm through. Add 2 handfuls chopped mixed fresh herbs, such as parsley and oregano, to the pan just before serving. Check the seasoning, then drizzle the dressing over the halloumi to serve.

I imagined white fish would be too bland but judging by the comments made I’m persuaded to give it a go. I love the simplicity of the recipe especially as I prefer fish.

Wow this is so simple and so delicious! The brown butter becomes really sweet so add more lemon juice just before serving.

Very easy to make. Simple, quick, tasty. My only observation was that I didn't find the caper sauce sharp enough so I did add a squeeze of lemon juice too but this depends on the capers used and also how sharp you like the sauce. I think the butter needed the sharpness to cut through it a little.…
