Ingredients
Method
- Cook bulgur with water according to package directions, adjusting liquid if needed. Fluff and let cool slightly.
- Heat oil in a nonstick skillet. Fry halloumi for about 2 minutes per side until golden.
- Toss bulgur with cucumber, tomatoes, lemon juice and mint, then top with warm halloumi.
A little note
Serve soon after frying because halloumi firms as it cools.
Cooking tips
- Pat halloumi dry before frying and give the slices space to brown.
- Have the grain salad ready first so the halloumi can go straight from the pan to the table while soft inside.
