James's Fried Cheese Greek Salad
4 x Ripe plum tomatoes
1 x Red onion
1 x Cucumber
20 x Black olives, pitted
1 bn Flat parsley
100 gm Haloumi cheese, thinly sliced
Basil, finely chopped
Coriander, finely chopped
Chervil
Chives
200 ml Olive oil
2 x Lemons, juice of
1 tbl White wine vinegar
Salt and pepper
Method :
Cut the tomatoes very coarsely into large dice. Slice the red onion finely and
leave to soak in the white wine vinegar. Peel and chop the cucumber the same
size as the tomatoes. Mix all these together in a bowl with the onions and some
flat parsley. Dress with some olive oil and salt and pepper.
In a hot non-stick pan, fry the Haloumi cheese with no oil. It will brown very
quickly. Remove and season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with lemon juice.
Place on top of the salad and drizzle herb oil around the plate. Now add some
lemon juice to the herb oil that you have put around the salad. If you add the
lemon juice before this it will turn the herbs brown.
