Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Lift the halloumi out of its brine and pat it very dry with paper towels. Wet cheese steams and will not brown.

2. 2

   Cut the block into slices about 1 cm (1/2 in) thick.

3. 3

   Heat a grill pan, griddle or barbecue over medium-high heat until very hot.

4. 4

   Brush both sides of the slices lightly with the olive oil.

5. 5

   Lay the slices on the grill without crowding. Cook until the underside has deep golden marks, 2-3 min.

6. 6

   Flip the slices and cook until the second side is golden and the cheese feels soft, 1-2 min.

7. 7

   Move to a warm plate, squeeze the juice of half the lemon over the top and scatter with the oregano.

8. 8

   Finish with black pepper and serve at once with the remaining lemon wedges. Halloumi turns rubbery as it cools.
