Halloumi fatteh

Directions

• To make the fatteh, heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the minced beef and immediately break it up as finely as you can to prevent it cooking in clumps, adding the spices and garlic granules as you do so. Season generously with salt and pepper and cook until the meat is well browned, then set aside.
• Heat another frying pan over a medium heat, pour in about 1cm vegetable oil and bring to a gentle frying temperature. To test the temperature, add a breadcrumb to the oil. If it bubbles nicely without sizzling too much, the oil is hot enough. (CAUTION: Hot oil can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended.)
• Line a plate with a double layer of kitchen paper. Cut the block of halloumi in half lengthways, then cut each piece into 4 equal fingers. Cut each finger into 3 equal chunks. Add the halloumi to the hot oil and fry until a deep golden-brown on all sides. Once the halloumi is cooked, remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and transfer to the paper-lined plate to drain.
• To make the tahini yoghurt, place a small saucepan over a gentle heat, add the ingredients with a generous amount of salt and pepper and stir until well combined. If necessary, add some lukewarm water to thin it down to the consistency of thick double cream. Warm through, then remove from the heat.
• To serve, arrange the halloumi on the plate first, then top with the beef, followed by the tahini yoghurt, pomegranate molasses and seeds and the coriander. Serve immediately with the flatbreads.
