Equipment

  • frying scoop
  • zesteur
  • fine citrus peel grater

Ingredients
  

  • 225 gram halloumi

  • 1 egg
  • 3 tbsp mayonaise
  • 1 lemon

Instructions
 

Preparations

  • Cut your halloumi in finger sized pieces.
  • Make some lemon mayonaise by zesting some of the yellow peel of the lemon with the citrus grater and mixing it through the mayonaise.
  • Mix the flower with a pinch of salt.
  • Mix the panko with the dukkah (I love this one).
  • Take 3 soup plates, put the flower mix in one, whisk the egg in the second and put panko mix in the third.

Haloumi fingers

  • Each time take a piece of halloumi, roll it through the flower until covered, then through the egg until covered and finally through the panko until covered.
  • Deep fry the halloumi fingers in a wok and put them on a piece of paper towel when ready.

Plating and serving

  • Plate the halloumi fingers by putting three dollops of mayonaise on each one and garnish them with some cress and lemon zest (with the zesteur).
  • Serve while still warm, because that's when they'll taste best!
