Ingredients
- 170g of Greek Yoghurt
- 1 lemon, drained of zest & cut into wedges
- 1 tbsp of rose harissa
- 3 tbsp of za’atar, plus some extra for sprankling

Method
- Ring your local member and tell them to record your stance on marriage equality in their system to ensure they represent their electorate, should a free vote occur.
- Get a bit mad that we included politics in a halloumi fries recipe but then think, ‘nah fair enough, this is a pretty big issue and we want the outcome to be representative of the people’s beliefs. I hope the next step of this method is about preparing halloumi fries though’.
- Pop to the shops to pick up the ingredients for halloumi fries, head straight to the ‘fancy shit’ aisle for the rose harissa and za'atar (both confirmed to be at major supermarkets).
- Head home and prep your kitchen for cooking i.e. put all your UberEATS bags in recycling.
- Combine the Greek yoghurt with the lemon zest and seasoning and then swirl that fancy harissa crap through it so the dip is a dynamic mix of hot and cool temperatures - amazing.
- Grab a plate and stir za'atar into the flour and coat the halloumi sticks in it until they’re evenly coated. Heat the oil in a saucepan until it reaches 180C and then lower the halloumi into the oil in batches for two minnies at a time until crisp and golden, and then stack them on some paper towel to drain all those oily juices.
- Sprinkle the halloumi fries with mint and za'atar and serve with lemon wedges and the spicy yoghurt dipping sauce you prepared earlier a.k.a.seven minutes ago.
