Fried haloumi with sticky fruit and nuts

This is a great combination of salty-sweet flavours, from the golden fried haloumi to sweet ripe pawpaw and the pops of flavor from the finger lime.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 225 g good quality Greek or Cypriot haloumi
  • ½ pawpaw, seeds removed
  • Juice of ½ lime
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 sprig oregano
  • ½ cup macadamias, toasted
  • 1 finger lime

Instructions

1. Preheat pan with olive oil over medium heat. 
 
2. Slice haloumi into 2cm thick slices. Place haloumi in pan and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side. Keep a close eye on it and flip as soon as it’s golden. 
 
3. Peel the pawpaw and roughly cut into chunks. Squeeze juice of half a lime and the honey over the pawpaw and toss to coat. 
 
4. Place the pawpaw on a plate, and top with a few fresh oregano leaves, torn roughly.
 
5. Place golden haloumi on top of the fruit. Roughly chop toasted macadamias and sprinkle over the top. Use the tip of a knife and carefully scrape finger limes over to garnish.
