Halloumi is a fabulous cheese from Cyprus and a favorite in Greek cooking. It's an ideal frying cheese because it doesn't melt.

Steps:
- Gather the ingredients. Heat a nonstick frying pan over high heat.
- Dry the halloumi cheese slices by blotting them with a paper towel. Place the slices on a plate and brush both sides lightly with the olive oil to coat each thoroughly.
- Sear the cheese in the hot pan until each slice develops a deep brown crust, about 1 minute on the first side and 1 to 2 minutes on the other.
- Place the fried cheese on a plate and garnish with the pepper, oregano or mint leaves, tomatoes, and vinaigrette.

Steps:
- To fresh milk add rennet and leave till set (about 30 minutes).
- Break up and place resulting mass into muslin in about two lots (this depends on the amount of milk used).
- Drain any whey from curds back into pan, leave to stand in muslin for about half an hour after which they will be firmer and in oval shape.
- Meanwhile bring whey to the boil.
- any curds which form on the top may be gathered and used fresh/ add sugar and cinnamon or placed in muslin and hung to dry to form a hard cheese suitable for grating onto pasta etc.
- Once milk has come to the boil, remove soft curds from muslin and place into boiling pan.
- Simmer gently until the cheese floats to the top, but certainly for approximately 20 minutes.
- Remove cheese, if liked, sprinkle with salt and fold in half and place a weight on top.
- Leave in fridge for at leave 2 hours before use.
- It may be stored in a jar with a small amount of the whey (keep cool).
- The remaining whey may be used to boil spaghetti in, when cooked, cooked chicken may be added to form a soup, serve with bread (this is a typical Cypriot lunch, nothing is wasted) The soft curds which form on the top to which sugar and cinnamon are added can be made in to'cakes' filo type pastry is filled with the mixture and then deep fried for a few moments, delicious!

THE TRADITIONAL CYPRUS SANDWICH WITH HALLOUMI, ONIONS AND TOMATO
I first had one of these wonderful sandwiches just after I had moved to Cyprus; I remember sitting in an old, rundown taverna with a chilled Keo beer, whilst gazing out towards the deep blue Mediterranean Sea! Bliss! They are usually made in long, fat finger rolls, similar to hoagies or sub rolls, but you can also make them with pitta bread or other shapes of bread rolls. Halloumi is a traditional Cypriot cheese, which is still made locally by lots of Cypriot ladies - you often see the cheeses "hanging out to dry" in old, but hopefully clean (?) tights or stockings! Halloumi is an extremely good cheese for cooking, it maintains its shape and becomes toasty and slightly salty when fried or grilled. You can buy packs of good quality Cypriot Halloumi cheese in most supermarkets or in a delicatessen. It can last for up to ONE year when bought in a vacuum-sealed pack! Halloumi is the Greek Cypriot name for this cheese, the Turkish Cypriots call it Hellim - it is the same cheese however, and the best cheese is made with 100% sheep's milk. You will find these sandwiches all over Cyprus in different guises, this is my favourite combination.

Steps:
- Put 2 teaspoons of the olive oil into a frying pan and cook the onions over a medium heat until soft and slightly coloured, set aside.
- Put the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil into the frying pan and fry the halloumi slices over a medium to high heat on both sides, until golden brown and crispy around the edges.
- Cut the roll in half, and place the halloumi slices on one half and then squeeze the lemon juice over the cooked cheese slices. Sprinkle a few oregano leaves over the cheese before adding the sliced tomatoes and cooked onions.
- Place the other half of the roll on top of the cheese and the filling. Gently press the two halves together.
- Put the filled roll into a pre-heated griddle, Panini, George Foreman or sandwich grill for about 2 minutes, or until the bread roll is crisp and golden brown.
- Serve immediately with fresh lettuce leaves and a handful of black olives -- and don't forget the ice cold Keo or Efes beer!
