Instructions

  1. 1. Cut the Halloumi cheese in half lengthwise to create flat pieces. Slice each piece into strips about 1 centimeter thick. Set the cheese aside to let it reach room temperature.
  2. 2. Remove the shells from the pistachios. Then chop the nuts roughly into small pieces.
  3. 3. Wash the lime thoroughly. Finely grate about half a teaspoon of the green zest. Cut the lime in half and squeeze out the juice.
  4. 4. Wash the basil leaves. Shake them dry to remove excess water. Pluck the leaves and chop them finely, removing the stems.
  5. 5. Heat a pan over medium heat. Add one tablespoon of oil to the pan. Roast the pistachios in the oil for about 2 to 3 minutes. Shake the pan occasionally until the nuts are golden brown.
  6. 6. Place the hot pistachios into a bowl. Add one tablespoon of honey, the lime zest, and one tablespoon of olive oil. Mix everything well.
  7. 7. Season the pistachio mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. 8. Heat a pan or a grill pan over medium to high heat. Rub the Halloumi slices with oil on both sides.
  9. 9. Fry the cheese all around for about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn it until it is golden brown and crispy on both sides.
  10. 10. Arrange the cheese slices slightly overlapping on a serving plate.
  11. 11. Distribute the honey-pistachios and fresh basil over the cheese.
  12. 12. Drizzle some lime juice and olive oil over the dish. Serve immediately.
