Method

  1. Soak the halloumi in boiling water for 15 minutes.
  2. Whilst it’s soaking make the slaw; add the oil, mustard and lemon juice to a bowl and whisk to make the dressing. Add in the remaining ingredients and toss to coat.
  3. Roll the halloumi into thin cutlets using a rolling pin.
  4. Add the eggs, flour and breadcrumbs to separate bowls. Stir the chilli flakes, fennel seeds and lemon zest into the breadcrumbs. Dip the halloumi into the flour, then the egg, then the panko. Repeat with the remaining halloumi.
  5. In a frying pan add the oil to the pan and heat until shimmering. Fry the halloumi for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Allow excess oil to drain and transfer to a wire rack.
  6. Add all the ingredients for the mustard mayo to a bowl and mix to combine.
  7. Plate up a halloumi schnitzel with a pile of the apple and fennel slaw, and a dollop of the mustard mayo.
