  • 3 tablespoons za'atar plus extra for sprinkling
  • 2 tablespoons gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Servings: 6

Instructions

  • Harissa Yogurt:
  • Mix the harissa paste with the Greek yogurt.
  • If desired, sprinkle with pomegranate seeds, and then set it aside.
  • Halloumi Fries:
  • Fill a deep-sided pan or wok with 2 inches of vegetable oil and heat it to 325°F.
  • Use a thermometer to keep the temperature constant.
  • Cut each block of halloumi into 12 chunky fries, so you have 24 in total.
  • Mix the za'atar with the gluten-free all-purpose flour in a wide, shallow bowl.
  • Toss the halloumi pieces into the za'atar and flour mixture, coating them evenly.
  • Lower the halloumi fries into the hot oil with a slotted spoon, and fry them in batches for 2 to 3 minutes, or until they turn golden.
  • Lift the fried halloumi fries onto paper towels to absorb any excess oil, then transfer them to a warm serving plate.
  • Sprinkle with a little extra za'atar and serve with the harissa yogurt dip.
  • Enjoy your Halloumi Fries with Harissa Yogurt!
