Grilled halloumi flatbreads with preserved lemon and barberry salsa
Ingredients
- halloumi, 2 x 250g blocks
- 2 tbsp of Greek-style yoghurt
- fresh turmeric, 1 x 5cm piece, peeled and finely grated (you might want to use latex gloves while preparing the turmeric to avoid staining your hands)
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1 unwaxed lime, zest finely grated, and a good squeeze of the juice to taste
- vegetable oil
- pul biber chilli flakes, to garnish
- 30g of unsalted butter, melted
- 175g of plain flour
- 100ml of semi-skimmed milk
- 2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tsp garlic granules
- 1 tbsp of olive oil
- 15g of dill, roughly chopped
- 4 preserved lemons, deseeded and very finely chopped
- 1 tbsp of dried barberries
- 1 avocado, peeled, stoned and roughly diced
- 2 tsp nigella seeds
- Maldon salt
- black pepper
- 250g of Greek-style yoghurt
- rose harissa, 1 heaped tsp
- 1 large red onion, halved and very thinly sliced into half moons
- 1 tbsp of caster sugar
- 1 tbsp of rice vinegar
- 1 tsp pul biber chilli flakes
- Maldon salt, a generous pinch
Instructions
- Cut each block of halloumi into 4 thick, equal slices. Put the yoghurt, grated turmeric, crushed garlic and lime zest into a bowl, add the lime juice and mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Leave the halloumi slices to marinate while you’re making the flatbreads
- Put all the flatbread ingredients, except the oil, into a mixing bowl and mix until a firm dough has formed. Wrap the dough in cling film and leave to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes
- To make the salsa, mix the ingredients together in a small bowl, season with salt and pepper and set aside
- To make the harissa yoghurt, mix the ingredients together in another bowl, season with salt and pepper, and chill until ready to serve
- For the pickled onions, combine all the ingredients in a lidded plastic container. Close the lid tightly and shake vigorously for a couple of minutes until the onions slices soften – they are now ready to serve. Keep refrigerated for up to 2 days in a sealed container
- When you’re ready to cook the flatbreads, preheat a large frying pan over a medium heat. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll out each piece into a thin round, about 25cm in diameter. Brush the hot pan with olive oil and cook the flatbreads, one at a time, for about 45–60 seconds on each side, or until lightly browned
- In the same frying pan, heat a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat. Add the marinated halloumi slices and fry for about 1 minute on each side, or until nicely browned
- Divide the halloumi between the flatbreads and dollop a generous amount of the harissa yoghurt on top. Add the salsa and some pickled onions, then sprinkle over some pul biber. Roll up and serve immediately
