How to make Marinated Grilled Halloumi with a Warm Greek Salad and a Basil and Mint Drizzle

  1. To make the marinade, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper and oregano together.

  2. Lay the sliced halloumi on a plate and cover with the marinade.

  3. Meanwhile, make the salad. Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the red onion until soft.

  4. Add the tomatoes, olives, and Tilda® rice.

  5. Heat through and keep warm.

  6. Add all the drizzle ingredients to a small food processor and process until smooth.

  7. Add the marinated halloumi to a hot griddle pan (or non-stick pan with 1 teaspoon olive oil) and cook until golden-brown on both sides, adding any remaining marinade juices to the rice mix.

  8. Serve in a large bowl and drizzle over the basil and mint dressing.
