Satay Halloumi Wraps Food

ROASTED PEPPER & HALLOUMI WRAPS

Steps:

• Sprinkle both sides of the halloumi with the oregano. Heat the oil in a non stick frying pan, then briefly fry the halloumi on both sides until golden. Meanwhile, heat the flat breads over a naked gas flame for a few seconds on each side to warm them. (Alternatively you can do this in a large frying pan.)
• Halve the peppers (removing any stray seeds) and thickly slice, then add to the pan with the aubergine and olives. Heat through, squeeze over two of the lemon wedges and season well. To serve, divide the mixture and the parsley sprigs between the wraps, and top each with a lemon wedge for squeezing over.

HALLOUMI WRAPS

Steps:

• Mix together the curry powder, yoghurt, lemon juice and olive oil. Coat the halloumi in the marinade, cover and chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, make the raita by mixing all the ingredients together in a small bowl. Season well with salt and pepper and chill in the fridge.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high.
• Thread the marinated halloumi pieces onto two metal skewers, reserving any leftover marinade. Cook the halloumi skewers under the grill for 5-7 minutes, turning regularly and brushing over any remaining marinade. Once the halloumi pieces are golden-brown and beginning to char, remove them from the skewers and set aside.
• Warm the wraps for 20 seconds each in a microwave, then fill with the halloumi, raita, mango chutney and Baby Gem lettuce.

SATAY CHICKEN SALAD WRAPS

Steps:

• Put the chicken into a resealable gallon-size plastic bag and pound with the flat side of a meat tenderizer to a thickness of 1/2-inch. Add the rest of the ingredients, except the peanut oil, to a food processor, fitted with the bottom blade or a blender, and pulse 5 to 6 times for 2 seconds each or until well blended. Using a new resealable gallon-size plastic bag, add the chicken and the marinade, mix well and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• While the chicken is marinating, prepare the Asian Mayonnaise.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and wipe off the excess with a paper towel. Heat a large saute pan over high heat and add 3 tablespoons peanut oil. When the oil is hot, add the chicken, stirring frequently for 3 to 4 minutes. Once cooked through, remove the chicken to a plate and keep warm. To the same pan add the red onions, carrots, red bell peppers, and bok choy and saute for 2 minutes longer. Add in the mung bean sprouts, ginger and garlic and saute for 1 minute. Remove from the heat. Spread all of the naan with the Asian Mayonnaise and top with the chicken satay saute. Roll and serve immediately.
• In a small, nonreactive bowl, combine all the ingredients. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes, stirring after 15 minutes.

HALLOUMI WRAPS WITH CRUNCHY ZA'ATAR CHIPS

Steps:

• Cut the potatoes into 1cm-thick chips - leave the skin on, or peel first, if you prefer. Tip into a pan of cold salted water and set aside while you make the flatbreads.
• Mix the yogurt and flour with a pinch of salt to make a soft dough. If it feels too sticky, add a little more flour. Knead gently for a minute or two until smooth and elastic, then divide into four pieces. Cover with a clean tea towel and set aside.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bring the pan of chips to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 8-10 mins until the potatoes start to soften - you should be able to easily break a chip in half. Drain and leave to steam-dry in the colander for 5 mins. Drizzle a large baking tray with the veg oil and put in the oven for a few minutes to heat up.
• Carefully tip the chips into the tray of hot oil, season with salt and scatter with the za'atar and oregano. Use a fish slice to carefully turn the chips in the oil until well-coated, then bake for 25-30 mins, shaking the tray every 10 mins until crisp.
• Meanwhile, mix the ingredients for the tzatziki together, and chill until ready to serve. Will keep covered and chilled for a day.
• Flour a work surface and roll out each piece of dough into a roughly 25cm round. Heat a frying pan over a medium heat and cook each for 2-3 mins on each side until puffed up and golden in spots. Wrap in foil and keep warm in a low oven.
• Tip the chopped tomatoes and cucumber triangles into individual bowls and set aside. Squeeze half the lemon over the red onions and season with a little salt, scrunch together and set aside. Cut the remaining lemon half into wedges.
• Slice each halloumi block into eight pieces. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat and cook the halloumi for 1-2 mins on each side until soft and golden. Generously spread each flatbread with the tzatziki, then top with a handful of the chips, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions and halloumi. Squeeze over a lemon wedge, then wrap up and serve with extra chips and tzatziki on the side.

HALLOUMI FAJITAS

Steps:

• Split each halloumi block through the middle lengthways (they should have a natural seam). Cut each half into four strips. Heat half the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat, and fry the halloumi strips for a few minutes on each side until golden. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Heat the remaining oil in the pan over a high heat, and fry the onion and peppers for 5 mins until just soft and starting to char. Add the garlic, paprika and coriander with some seasoning and cook for 1 min more. Pour in the lime juice and fried halloumi, and stir very gently so the halloumi doesn't break up. Will keep at room temperature for a few hours. Reheat over a low heat with a little water.
• Warm the wraps in a low oven wrapped in foil. Alternatively, warm two at a time for 10 seconds in the microwave (not wrapped in foil), or by holding them directly over a gas flame with a pair of tongs (this will give you flavourful charred edges).
• Pile the halloumi filling into the warm wraps, with a few slices of avocado each, some coriander leaves, and spoonfuls of chilli sauce or soured cream, if you like.
