Carrot & Haloumi Fritters with Fresh Cucumber Salad

Prep: 25 mins.
Cook: 15 mins.
Total: 40 mins
Serves: 2

Ingredients:
180g haloumi
2 carrots, peeled & grated
2 spring onions, finely sliced
1 cucumber, peeled into ribbons
2 tbsp plain flour
1 egg, lightly whisked
¼ cup olive oil
½ lemon, juiced
1tsp honey
Handful of mint, leaves picked
2x tbsp hummus

Method:

• Preheat the oven to 160ºC/140ºC fan-forced.

• Coarsely grate half of the haloumi using a box grater. Cut the remaining haloumi into 1 cm thick slices and set aside. Squeeze the excess moisture from the carrot, then combine with the grated haloumi, spring onion, plain flour and egg in a medium bowl. Season with pepper. Form the mixture into round fritters, packing tightly with your hands.

• Heat a little olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Carefully add the fritters and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden. Remove them carefully and place on the prepared oven tray. Place in the oven to keep warm. Heat a little olive oil in the same frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the haloumi slices and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden.

• Combine equal parts olive oil and lemon juice with the honey in a small bowl. Combine the rocket, cucumber and mint in a large bowl. Drizzle with the lemon dressing.

• Divide and stack the fritters and haloumi slices and serve with the minted cucumber salad and hummus on the side.
