Instructions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the red onion, preserved lemon and lemon juice. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and heat for another 30 seconds. Add the cheese in one layer, and cook, flipping once, until golden brown on both sides, about 1-2 minutes per side. If your pan is not large enough, you may need to do this in two batches. Transfer the cooked cheese to a warm serving plate.

Step 3

To finish the dish, stir the mint and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil into the reserved onion and lemon mixture. Spoon the sauce over the grilled halloumi slices and garnish with a sprinkling of Dukkah and additional mint. Serve warm with plenty of crusty bread.
