Ingredients

  • 1 small lemon, very thinly sliced
  • 6 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed with the flat side of a knife
  • 4 - 5 thyme sprigs
  • 250g halloumi
  • 80ml Ottolenghi Honey Mustard Dressing
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp clear honey, to serve

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 220˚C, gas mark 7. Add the lemon slices to a 20cm round ovenproof dish. Tuck the garlic and thyme sprigs in amongst the lemon slices and place the block of halloumi on top. Lightly score the top of the halloumi in a criss-cross pattern and pour the dressing over the lemons and halloumi, followed by the oil and a few grinds of pepper. Bake for 25-28 minutes, until the lemons and halloumi are soft and starting to caramelise around the edges. Serve with a pinch of flaky sea salt and a drizzle of honey.
