▢ 500 g halloumi cheese
▢ 4 tablespoon honey
▢ ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more or less depending how spicy you like it)
▢ 1 small lemon
▢ 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
▢ Arugula salad for serving

Slice the halloumi into approximately 1.5 cm cubes and pat dry with a paper towel.
Make the halloumi marinade by combining the olive oil, 4 tablespoon honey , red pepper flakes and lemon juice in a cup or small bowl. Stir together well
Place halloumi in an airtight container or bowl and pour the marinade. Allow to marinate for 30 minutes or even overnight in the fridge
Heat up olive oil in a non-stick pan or skillet on medium high heat. Add a light drizzle of olive oil then add the halloumi cheese in a single layer and pan-fry for a few minutes
When you can see the halloumi cheese browning up on the sides, flip them around. Pour over spoons of the leftover remaining sauce on the cheese and allow to sizzle for a minute until the cheese is golden brown on both sides
Serve over an arugula salad or greek salad with any leftovers of the marinade and enjoy!!
