Ingredients

For the Halloumi Fries

  • 400g Dairyko PDO Halloumi Block, cut into thick fries (or 400g Dairyko Pre-Cut PDO Halloumi Sticks for a quicker alternative)
  • 2 tbsp plain flour
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • Freshly ground black pepper

For the Hot Honey

  • 3 tbsp honey
  • ½ tsp chilli flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

For the Herb Yoghurt Dip

  • 150g Greek yoghurt
  • 1 tbsp fresh mint, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 small garlic clove, crushed
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • To Garnish
  • Fresh parsley
  • Sesame seeds (optional)
  • Lemon wedges

Method

1Prepare the Halloumi

Pat the Dairyko PDO Halloumi dry with kitchen paper. If using the halloumi block, cut it into thick fry-shaped batons. If you’re using our Dairyko Pre-Cut PDO Halloumi Sticks, they’re ready to cook, making preparation even quicker and easier.

Mix the flour, smoked paprika and oregano together in a bowl, then lightly coat each piece of halloumi.

2Make the Hot Honey

In a small saucepan, gently warm the honey with the chilli flakes for 2–3 minutes.

Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Set aside.

3Cook the Halloumi

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan or griddle over a medium-high heat.

Cook the halloumi for 2–3 minutes on each side until beautifully golden and crisp.

Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper.

4Prepare the Dip

Combine the Greek yoghurt, mint, parsley, garlic and lemon juice in a bowl.

Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and mix until smooth.

5Serve

Arrange the halloumi fries on a serving platter.

Drizzle generously with the warm hot honey and sprinkle with chopped parsley and sesame seeds, if using.

Serve immediately with the herb yoghurt dip and fresh lemon wedges.

Why Choose Dairyko’s PDO Halloumi?

At The Dairy Kompany, we supply premium Dairyko PDO Halloumi, traditionally produced in Cyprus using authentic methods. Its unique texture allows it to be grilled or fried without melting, creating a delicious golden crust while remaining soft and savoury in the centre.

For this recipe, we’ve used our Dairyko PDO Halloumi Block, which can be easily cut into chunky fries at home. If you’re looking to save preparation time, we also offer Dairyko Pre-Cut PDO Halloumi Sticks, providing the same authentic flavour and premium quality in a convenient, ready-to-cook format.

Whether you’re cooking for family at home or preparing dishes in a professional kitchen, both products deliver the exceptional taste, texture and versatility that authentic PDO Halloumi is renowned for.

Chef’s tips

  • Pat the halloumi dry before cooking to achieve the best golden crust.
  • Cook over medium-high heat to caramelise the outside while keeping the centre soft and tender.
  • Drizzle over the hot honey just before serving to maintain the halloumi’s crisp exterior.
  • For an even lighter option, cook the halloumi on a barbecue or griddle instead of frying.
  • Add a sprinkle of fresh mint or pomegranate seeds for an extra burst of freshness and colour.

Serving suggestion

These Mediterranean Grilled PDO Halloumi Fries are perfect served alongside grilled meats, burgers, wraps, fresh salads or Mediterranean mezze. They also make an excellent sharing starter with hummus, olives, roasted peppers and warm flatbreads, or as a delicious accompaniment to summer barbecues.

Pair with an ice-cold sparkling lemonade, crisp Sauvignon Blanc or a refreshing rosé for the ultimate summer dining experience.
