Haloumi with Basil and Tomato

I love haloumi and this is a great little dish to whip up if you don’t feel like a big dinner. I made this recipe up myself but then found (more or less) the same recipe online at Cuisine. You can cook the tomatoes in winter or serve it cold as a salad in summer.

You need for 4 fashionista, 10 models or 35 Vicky Beckhams

2 x 250g pieces of haloumi cheese
½ small red onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves
3 or 4 ripe tomatoes, chopped
½ cup basil leaves
Pinch of dried chilli
Salt and pepper
3 tabs extra virgin olive oil
1 tabs red wine vinegar
4 tbsp olive oil
Juice of ½ lemon

  • Ask the maid to fix the fire.
  • Climb out of your Nicholas Kirkwood heels.
  • Put on Prada ugg boots.
  • Pour a wine or two.
  • Chop up the chic red tomatoes in the size of a Jimmy Choo buckle.
  • Put on the new Chanel sunglasses to chop up the onion.
  • Wipe away tears. Don’t think of anything bad like African orphans or you will cry more.
  • Chop up the garlic and tear the basil.
  • Slice the haloumi into simple slices as thin as Vicky B.
  • Mix up the onion, basil, tomatoes, chilli and garlic and toss in a fry pan and cook in olive oil for a couple of minutes.
  • Toss down another wine.
  • Heat up another non stick fry pan and when it’s hot toss in the haloumi.
  • You don’t need to flour it or even add oil: just throw it in and it will melt and cook.
  • It’s ready when you have turned them and cooked both sides and they are a gorgeous Hermes tan colour.
  • You can squeeze over some lemon juice.
  • Toss the haloumi on a chic white plate and drizzle over the basil tomato mix with a few glugs of oil just in case there isn’t enough moisteriser.
