• 1 tsp black peppercorns, crushed
• 1 tbsp balsamic glaze
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 250g pack halloumi, diced
• 75g California Walnuts
• 75g rocket
Method:
1. Mix the strawberries with the pepper and balsamic glaze and marinate for 10-15 minutes.
2. Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the halloumi and walnuts for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally until golden. Toss into the rocket with the oil from the pan and then toss in the marinated strawberries.
