haloumi
(Contains Milk;)
2
carrots
½
lemon
½ bag
baby spinach leaves
1
cucumber
1 bunch
mint
1 tub
hummus
(Contains Sesame; May be present: Egg, Milk, Cashew, Walnut, Almond, Macadamia. )
2 tbs
plain flour
(Contains Gluten;)
1
egg
(Contains Egg;)
1 tbs
olive oil
1 tsp
honey
Preheat the oven to 160ºC/140ºC fan-forced. To prepare the ingredients, peel and grate the carrots, lightly whisk the egg, juice the lemon, peel the cucumber into ribbons and pick the mint leaves.
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, plain flour and egg in a medium bowl. Season with pepper. Form the mixture into round fritters, packing tightly with your hands.
Heat half the 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 to a lined 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 the remaining olive oil and the lemon juice with the honey in a small bowl. Combine the baby spinach leaves, cucumber and mint in a large bowl. Drizzle with the lemon dressing.
To serve, divide and stack the fritters and haloumi slices, and serve with the minted cucumber salad and hummus.
