Ingredients
- 150g fat-free Greek-style natural yogurt
- small handful mint leaves, shredded, plus extra to serve
- zest and juice of 1⁄2 lime
- 1 medium carrot
- 125g cooked natural beetroot
- 3 tsp olive oil
- 1⁄2 x 225g block light halloumi
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 2 Greek style flatbreads (we used Deli Kitchen)
- 1⁄2 tbsp clear honey
Step by step
- Mix the yogurt, mint and lime zest with seasoning; set aside.
- Grate the carrot and beetroot or slice into matchsticks. Place in a bowl and toss with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and the lime juice. Season well.
- Cut the halloumi into thin slices. Tip the sesame seeds onto a plate and use to coat the halloumi slices, patting to stick.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan and lightly toast the flatbreads, one at a time, on both sides. Remove from the pan and set aside. Add 2 teaspoons of oil and fry the halloumi for about 4 minutes or until golden on both sides. Reduce the heat to low, drizzle in the honey and turn the slices until glazed and caramelised.
- To assemble, spread the warm flatbreads with the minted yogurt before topping with the slaw and sesame halloumi.
Tip
When frying halloumi, use a non-stick pan – that way, you only need a splash of oil. Turn the slices once golden and drizzle with honey for extra caramelisation and flavour.
