Sticky Peaches, Halloumi Web & Pickled Cucumber

1 English cucumber

2 pitas

1 x 15-oz can of sliced peaches in juice

4 oz mixed salad leaves

2 oz halloumi cheese

Using a vegetable peeler, peel the cucumber lengthways

into long delicate ribbons, discarding the seedy core, and

place in a bowl with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper,

and 1 tablespoon each of red wine vinegar and extra virgin

olive oil. Toast the pitas until golden, then slice into strips

and arrange around the edges of two plates.

Place a large non-stick frying pan on a high heat. Drain and

roughly chop the peaches (reserving the juice), then place

in the pan with a good splash of the reserved juice, and

season with pepper. Warm through for a few minutes while

you toss the salad leaves with the dressed cucumber, and

plate up. Remove the peaches to a bowl, give the pan a quick

wipe with a ball of paper towel, then use the fine side of a

box grater to grate half the halloumi over the surface of the

pan (like a lacy doily). Leave on the heat for 1 to 2 minutes,

or until golden on one side, then tip directly over one of

the plates, using a spatula to ease it away from the pan, if

needed. Repeat with the remaining halloumi for the second

plate. Spoon over the peaches, and tuck straight in.
