Ingredients
- Mint: handful mint, leaves torn
- Lemon: 1 lemon, zested, then cut into wedges for squeezing
- Greek Yogurt: 170g pot Greek yogurt
- Oil: oil, for frying
- Plain Flour: 75g plain flour
- Harissa: 1 tbsp rose harissa
- Halloumi: 2 x 250g blocks halloumi, cut into fries
- Za'Atar: 3 tbsp za'atar, plus extra for sprinkling
Directions
- Mix the yogurt with the lemon zest and some seasoning, then swirl through the harissa so that you have pockets of hot and cool in the dip.
- On a plate, stir the za'atar into the flour, then roll the halloumi in the mixture so that it's evenly coated. Heat the oil in a shallow, heavy-bottomed pan or casserole dish until 180C on a cooking thermometer, or a piece of bread browns in 20 secs. Working in batches, carefully lower the halloumi into the oil and cook for 2 mins until crisp and golden, then drain on kitchen paper.
- Sprinkle over the mint and za'atar, and serve with the lemon wedges and the spicy yogurt for dipping.
