Ingredients
Halloumi and Marinade
- 250g halloumi, sliced 1-2 cm thick
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ½ lemon, juiced
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Yogurt Sauce
- 4 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
Salad
- 1 cucumber, finely sliced
- 1 red onion, finely sliced
- ½ lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons mint leaves, finely chopped
Wraps
- 4 flatbreads
Instructions
- Prepare the Halloumi: Remove the halloumi from its packaging and cut it into thin slices about 1-2 cm thick for even cooking and better marinade absorption.
- Make the Marinade: In a bowl, mix honey, red pepper flakes, dried thyme, lemon juice, and olive oil. Add a splash of water if the marinade seems too thick to help loosen it.
- Marinate the Halloumi: Pour the marinade over the sliced halloumi, making sure each piece is well coated. Let it marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour to absorb the flavors fully.
- Cook the Halloumi: Heat a pan over high heat. Fry the marinated halloumi slices for 2 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Drizzle Remaining Marinade: Transfer the cooked halloumi to a serving platter and drizzle any leftover marinade over the top for added flavor.
- Prepare the Yogurt Sauce: Combine Greek yogurt with lemon juice and minced garlic to create a fresh and tangy sauce to complement the halloumi.
- Make the Salad: Mix finely sliced cucumber and red onion with lemon juice, chopped parsley, and mint leaves for a refreshing crunchy salad.
- Assemble the Wraps: Spread the yogurt sauce on each flatbread, add the salad, then top with hot honey halloumi. Wrap tightly and serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Halloumi is best enjoyed fresh after frying. Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in a pan or air fryer, though the texture may become slightly spongy.
- Store yogurt sauce and salad separately in airtight containers for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
- Assembled wraps keep for 1-2 days in the fridge but the flatbread may become soft. For best results, store all components separately and assemble just before eating.
