RECIPE: CHILLI CRUMBLED HALOUMI CHIPS

Serves 6-8, prep and cooking time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

2 x 250g blocks haloumi

4 eggs

2 cups of panko breadcrumbs

2 tsps. dried chilli flakes (add or subtract amount. to taste)

1 cup plain flour

Vegetable oil

Salt and pepper

Mayonnaise and lemon wedges to serve

​Method

1. ​Cut haloumi in half horizontally, then cut length ways into 1cm-wide chips. Place on tray. Pat dry with paper towel.

2. ​Whisk eggs in a shallow dish. Combine breadcrumbs and chilli flakes in a separate shallow dish. Season with salt and pepper.

3. ​Dust haloumi in flour, shaking away excess. Dip in egg, then breadcrumbs mixture to coat.

​4. ​Heat enough oil in a large, deep frying pan over a medium to high heat (to shallow-fry). Add haloumi in two batches. Fry, turning halfway through, for about 4 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Transfer to a wire rack sitting over a tray.

5. ​Serve with mayonnaise and lemon wedges.

TIPS:

Haloumi chips are best served as soon as they are cooked.

Keep warm in a slow oven (150C), if required.

You can replace chilli with lemon pepper seasoning or mild taco spice mix, if preferred.

Enjoy your delicious haloumi chips!
