If you guys have been tuning in for while now, you will know by now, that I love my cheese. And not just love, I crave cheese. And chocolate. So when I was craving something this afternoon, I didn’t have much in the fridge. Time to go grocery shopping, that reminds me. I had a block of halloumi cheese and some bread, some sour cream. Pretty sparse haha. So I wanted to come up with a quick and yummy snack with whatever I had in the fridge. Then I thought, if I’m using the halloumi then it’s better to make something new… and Halloumi fries were born!
Preparation Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Serves 2
Ingredients
225 grams/ 8 oz halloumi cheese
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Vegetable oil- for frying
Sweet chilli mayonnaise dip
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup Thai sweet chilli sauce
1 tablespoon sour cream
Salt and pepper
Instructions
Combine the ingredients for the seasoned flour: the flour, paprika, oregano, cayenne, garlic powder and onion powder in a bowl. Mix well.
Cut the cheese lengthwise into 1/2 inch thick fries. You can even try making them into bite sized pieces. Pat them dry between a couple sheets of kitchen paper. Set them aside
Dredge the halloumi fries in the seasoned flour.
Place 4-5 pieces of the halloumi in a pan with a few tablespoons of oil. Only place 4-5 pieces in the oil at once to avoid overcrowding.
Fry them in some oil on a medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden on all sides.
For the sweet chilli mayonnaise dip: Combine the ingredients to make the sauce. Mix well and serve immediately.
