Method

5 steps · 15 minutes

Cut the halloumi into batons about the size of a thick chip, and pat every face dry.
Leave them on paper towels for 5 minutes while the pan heats. Surface moisture is the only thing standing between this and a golden crust.
Get the oil properly hot before they go in, and lay them down with space between.
Fry 2 minutes a side, turning them onto each of the four long faces. Eight minutes in total and no stirring at all.
Toss with the oregano and pepper, squeeze the lemon over, and eat within a few minutes — cold halloumi goes squeaky and tough.
