easy meal idea

Jerk-style halloumi with a honey-lime glaze

Toss thickly-sliced halloumi with jerk style seasoning, a dash of light soy sauce, some crushed garlic and a little lime zest and juice; gently coat the cheese. Get a griddle hot, then sizzle the halloumi until golden and charred in places. Mix honey with more lime juice to make a glaze, brush it over the cheese, then serve with more lime wedges and your choice of salad, slaw or chips.
