Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7
Cut your potatoes (skins on) into fries
Peel and grate your garlic
Add the fries to a baking paper-lined baking tray (or two!) with a drizzle of vegetable oil, your dried oregano, grated garlic and half your ground smoked paprika (save the rest for later!)
Add a pinch of salt and pepper and give everything a good mix up until well coated
Put the tray[s] in the oven for 25-30 min or until golden and crisp – these are your garlic fries
Peel and slice your shallot[s] finely
Add the sliced shallot to a large bowl with half your red wine vinegar (save the rest for later!) and 1 tsp [1 1/2 tsp] [2 tsp] sugar
Give it a good mix up and set aside – this is your quick-pickled shallot
Cut your cucumber into quarters lengthways, then into chunks
Remove 1 outer leaf per person from your lettuce and set aside, shred the inner core
Slice your tomato[es] into rounds
Combine your cornflour and 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] flour in a bowl with the remaining ground smoked paprika and the remaining red wine vinegar
Add 50ml [75ml] [100ml] milk to the bowl and whisk everything together until there are no lumps – this is your batter
Slice your halloumi into 3 strips per person and sprinkle both sides with flour until fully coated, then tap off any excess
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with 3 tbsp [4 1/2 tbsp] [6 tbsp] vegetable oil, over a medium-high heat
Once the pan is hot, dip the sliced halloumi into the batter and turn it several times until fully coated, then add the coated halloumi to the pan
Cook for 4-5 min on each side or until golden and crispy – this is your battered halloumi
Add your pitta bread[s] to a toaster for 1-2 min or until warmed through
Add the shredded lettuce, chopped cucumber and half your natural yoghurt to the bowl with the quick-pickled shallot
Mix everything together – this is your yoghurt & cucumber salad
Combine the remaining natural yoghurt with the mustard ketchup in a bowl – this is your yellow sauce
To build your sandwich, slice open the warmed pitta and fill it with a dollop of yellow sauce, 2 tomato rounds, a outer lettuce leaf and 3 battered halloumi slices – this is your Greek-style battered halloumi sandwich
Serve the yoghurt & cucumber salad and garlic fries to the side with the remaining yellow sauce
Enjoy!
