2tablespoonhoney

Method
Remove the halloumi from its packaging and cut it into thin 1-2 cm slices.
250 g halloumi
In a bowl, mix together the honey, red pepper flakes, thyme, lemon juice, and olive oil. If needed, you could add a splash of water to loosen the marinade slightly.
2 tbsp honey, ½ lemon, 0.5 tsp dried thyme, 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes, 1 tbsp olive oil
Pour the marinade over your halloumi and leave it to marinade for 30 mins - 1 hour.
Heat up a pan on high heat and add the halloumi slices, frying for 2 minutes on each side.
Transfer the halloumi to a serving platter and drizzle over any remaining marinade.
Most halloumi blocks will split in the middle if you cut along the long edge. Instead, cut the short edge of the block so you get large pieces to get softer centres.If you have leftovers, they should be kept in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. You can reheat it but note that the halloumi can turn on the spongier, squeakier side!
