Mediterranean roasted halloumi with basil dressing recipe
A simple and delicious one-pan supper that's ready in minutes. You could serve with a green salad on the side, a crusty bread to mop up the juices and lemon mayo or aioli to dip in the potatoes, if you like.
Tip: try this recipe with diced feta in place of the halloumi.
