Ingredients
- 1/2 Tbsp oil
- 2 small spring onions, finely diced
- 1/2 mild red chilli, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 450 g (~ 1 lb) halloumi cheese, cut into chunky pieces
- 2 Tbsp water
- 1 Tbsp hot sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp honey
Instructions
- Heat a dash of oil in a frying pan, and add the chopped spring onions, chilli and garlic. Cook over a medium heat for a few minutes, until soft and aromatic.
- Add the chunks of halloumi, water, hot sauce, and honey. Bring to a gentle simmer, and allow to cook for 5-10 minutes, until the halloumi is soft and squidgy, and the sauce is creamy and slightly sticky.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
Halloumi is always best eaten straight after cooking, when it's warm and squidgy - otherwise it can become a little tough and chewy. But if you really do need to reheat this dish later, zap it in the microwave briefly, and it will regain a little of its squidginess.
