👩‍🍳 Instructions (Step-by-Step Guide)

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

Slice the halloumi into thick pieces (about 1 cm). Pat dry with a paper towel to remove moisture — this helps it crisp up nicely.

Step 2: Fry the Capers

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add capers and fry for about 2–3 minutes until they pop open and become golden and crispy. Remove and set aside on a paper towel.

Step 3: Fry the Halloumi

In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed. Fry the halloumi slices for 1–2 minutes per side, until golden brown and slightly crisp.

Step 4: Add Lemon Zest & Juice

Remove the pan from heat. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the halloumi and sprinkle lemon zest for a bright, tangy flavor.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Top with the crispy fried capers, sprinkle fresh herbs, and add a touch of black pepper. Serve warm!
