I originally got it from my friend Jen on the night we ate (or tried to eat) the most epic cheesecake I have ever seen, which was made from about 6 kilogrammes of chocolate... Alas I don't have *that* particular recipe...
So:
Serves 4 as starter or 3 for lunch
Ingredients:
500g sweet potatoes, sliced to about a centimetre thickness
3 tbsp olive oil
250g halloumi cheese
75g rocket
For the dressing:
5 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp clear honey
2 tbsp lemon/lime juice
1 1/2 tbsp black onion seeds (kalonji)
1 red chilli deseeded and finely sliced (or I use chilli oil instead)
2 tbsp chopped lemon thyme
salt and pepper
To make:
1. Mix together the dressing ingredients. Sniff as required.
2. Par-boil the sweet potatoes in lightly salted water for 2 minutes, then drain and fry for 10 minutes
3. Slice the cheese and grill on a lightly-oiled foil-covered grill for about 3 minutes or until nicely browned
4. Put rocket on the plate and pile on the sweet potato, haloumi and dressing.
...and that's it. Warning though - the dressing is very sweet so you may like to cut down the honey content a bit. You absolutely can't do it without black onion seeds though, they are a-ma-zing!
