Method

Cut the halloumi into 2 cm cubes and pat them dry on kitchen paper.
Spray a non-stick pan and get it hot. Fry the cubes for a minute or two on each side until golden all over.
Take the pan off the heat and toss the cubes with the za'atar and lemon. Serve with the halved tomatoes and the mint torn over.

Worth knowing

Halloumi is 320 kcal per 100 g, so the 70 g is the whole calorie story. Weigh it: the block is usually 225 g and a third of it is 75.
Za'atar goes on off the heat. In the pan the sesame burns before the cheese browns.
