Instructions

Begin the Prep
1

a) Drain the halloumi, then slice into 1cm thick batons. Place into a small bowl of cold water and leave to soak.

b) Zest and cut the lime into wedges.

c) If you don't have a toaster, preheat your grill to high.

Fry the Chorizo
2

a) Heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil).

b) Once hot, add the diced chorizo and fry until it starts to brown, 3-4 mins.

c) Remove from the pan and set aside in a small bowl. Cover to keep warm.

Hello Halloumi
3

a) Remove the halloumi slices from the cold water, pop them onto a plate lined with kitchen paper and pat them dry.

b) Return the (now empty) frying pan to medium heat and add a drizzle of oil. Once hot, fry the halloumi until golden, turning frequently, 4-5 mins.

c) Remove the pan from the heat and add the honey (see pantry for amount), lime zest and half the chilli flakes. Stir until the halloumi is well coated.

Toast the Ciabatta
4

a) While the halloumi fries, halve the ciabatta.

b) Toast the ciabatta in your toaster until golden. Alternatively, grill until golden, 2-3 mins.

Load Up
5

a) Once toasted, spread the smashed avocado over both halves of the ciabatta.

b) Scatter over the cooked chorizo and crispy onions.

c) Sprinkle over the remaining chilli flakes.

Finish and Serve
6

a) Transfer your halloumi fries to 2 small bowls.

b) Share your chorizo and avocado ciabatta between 2 serving plates.
