FENNEL AND HALLOUMI



Fennel and Halloumi image

Very simple dish, bursting with flavour. It is excellent hot, but any leftovers are also very good cold. I have suggested serving it with pitta bread, but you could instead cook up some rice, couscous or bulgur wheat and mix in the vegetables and cheese to serve as a hot or cold dish.
