Ingredients

  • 250g pack Essential Cypriot Halloumi, cut into 2cm cubes
  • 1 red onion, halved and cut through the root into thin wedges
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tbsp clear honey
  • 1 mild red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
  • 1 lime, juice

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6. On a large baking tray lined with foil, toss the cubed halloumi, onion wedges and 1⁄2 tbsp oil. Roast for 10 minutes then drizzle with the honey, stir, and roast for a final 10 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, mix the chilli and remaining 11⁄2 tbsp oil in a bowl with a pinch of salt. Just before serving, stir through the lime juice.

  3. Arrange the rocket and papaya on a platter. Spoon over the warm halloumi and onions, and finish with the dressing.
