Simple, fresh and cooked with love. Heaven.

 Ingredients (Serves  8)

  • 1 tsp pepitas (pumpkin seeds), toasted
  • Seeds from 1 small pomegranate
  • 1 tbsp pomegranate molasses 
  • 1 tsp za’atar (or dried thyme)
  • 1 cocktail onion, finely diced
  • 1 tsp pine nuts, toasted
  • 1 tbsp sumac
  • A few rosemary sprigs
  • 150 ml olive oil
  • Pinch of salt flakes
  • 300 g haloumi cheese, sliced into 1 cm thick portions

Method

Combine all the ingredients, except the haloumi, in a mixing bowl. Check for seasoning and adjust if necessary.

Heat a large chargrill pan or frying pan over high heat. Add the haloumi and cook for 1 minute on each side or until golden. Press the haloumi with a spatula; when there is no resistance the haloumi is cooked. Remove the haloumi from the pan and transfer onto paper towel to drain, then divide among serving plates. Drizzle over the pomegranate and sumac dressing and serve immediately.
