Ingredients
- ½ small watermelon seedless and cut into about 15-20 small wedges
- 4 oz Halloumi
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- ⅛ teaspoon Cayenne
- 7-10 Mint leaves chopped
- 2 tablespoon Pistachios
Instructions
- Prepare the Watermelon: Cut the watermelon into small wedges so that they are easy to pick up and eat.
- Fry the Halloumi: Slice the halloumi block into ¼ inch thick pieces. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat, add 2 teaspoons of olive oil and once the pan is hot, fry the halloumi until golden brown on both sides. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes per side. Then cut the halloumi into ¼ inch cubes.
- Prepare the honey: add the cayenne into the honey and stir until combined.
- Assemble the Appetizer: Arrange the watermelon pieces on a serving platter. Top each piece with the halloumi squares, top with fresh mint leaves and chopped pistachios and drizzle the cayenne honey over each piece.
