Method

Scoop out the pomegranate seeds and place into a bowl, taking care to avoid the white membrane. Add the olive oil, parsley, lemon juice, chilli and garlic and then season generously with a little salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Set aside to allow the flavours to infuse whilst cooking the halloumi.
Heat a griddle pan or frying pan until hot, then cook the halloumi slices in batches for 1-2 minutes on each side until hot and golden.
Place 3 slices each onto 4 warmed serving plates and drizzle each with a little honey, then spoon over spoonfuls of salsa over each slice and serve whilst the cheese is still warm.
