Steps:

• Pat cheese dry with kitchen paper.
• Using a sharp knife, slice it into 8 slices.
• Now prepare the dressing: Mash the capers slightly and mix in all other ingredients together in a small mixing bowl. Go easy on the salt since halloumi is quite salty.
• When you're ready to serve the halloumi, heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat.
• When the oil is really hot, press each slice of cheese into seasoned flour to coat it on both sides.
• Add them to the hot pan and cook 1 min on each side. The color should be a nice golden brown.

• Put the courgettes in a large bowl and drizzle with the oil. Add a pinch of salt, then toss.
• Heat a griddle pan to high and add the courgettes, cut-side down (it's best to do this in batches). Cook for 4-5 mins until char marks appear and the flesh softens, then flip over and cook for another 3 mins. Remove to a shallow bowl and cover with foil to keep warm.
• Meanwhile, heat a separate large non-stick frying pan and add the halloumi. Cook for a few minutes until golden on both sides.
• Arrange the courgettes and halloumi on a large plate or platter, then spoon over the dressing.
