Ingredients
- Halloumi50 g
Halloumi is 320 kcal per 100 g and as salty as feta. Fifty grams is four decent cubes and enough.
- Watermelon150 g
Flesh only.
- Lime juiceA squeeze
- Fresh mintA few leaves
- Black pepperA grind
Method
Cut the halloumi into four cubes and the watermelon into eight cubes of about the same size. Pat the halloumi dry.
Sear the halloumi in a hot dry pan for a minute or two a side, until golden and squeaky. No oil; it has enough fat of its own.
Thread onto two skewers, alternating watermelon and hot halloumi with a mint leaf between each, then squeeze the lime over and grind on pepper. Eat while the cheese is still warm.
Worth knowing
- Halloumi turns rubbery within about five minutes of leaving the pan, so this is a snack to make and eat rather than to pack.
- The watermelon should be fridge cold. The contrast with the hot cheese is the whole point.
