By Abigail Donnelly
4
Easy

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup canola oil
  • 150 g halloumi cheese, dust lightly
  • Flour
  • Oil
  • 1 sweet melon
  • 1 cup chopped strawberries
  • 3 spring onions

Method

Place a pan over a medium to high heat and add canola oil. Thinly slice halloumi cheese, dust lightly with flour and quickly fry in the hot oil for 30 seconds a side, or until golden and crisp.
Remove using a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen towel.  Slice sweet melon into thin wedges and arrange on a platter, along with chopped strawberries.
Top with spring onions, sliced lengthways, a handful of fennel and the hot halloumi. Spoon over the pulp of 2–3 granadillas, drizzle with olive oil and enjoy.
