Instructions

In a shallow bowl, season the flour with the red pepper flakes and some black pepper. Dip the halloumi pieces in the flour and turn to coat.
Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat and shallow fry the halloumi for about 1-2 minutes. Once it has begun to brown, turn the pieces over and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes.
When ready, plate up the golden halloumi and squeeze on some lemon or lime juice. Eat straightaway, otherwise it will get chewy.
