Sunday Lunch: Halloumi & Avocado Salad

Halloumi and Avocado Salad
So not exactly a very Sunday-like Sunday lunch, but I caught sight of this halloumi salad on TheFastestIndian's blog and what with Saturday taken with a barbecue and it being the end of the month - this would make a tasty and refreshing Sunday lunch. Another factor was that me and the better half we're spending one of those horrible weekends apart, so the a simple salad would minimise time and mess created in the kitchen.

Have to say I was surprised how good this was, my griddle pan is getting nicely seasoned too, as the halloumi had a nice smoky touch where they'd been chargrilled.

Breakfast: Bacon, Liver and Onion Roll

1 comments

In recent weeks Borough Market has become my regular Saturday morning haunt and breakfast has taken the form of a very excellent Bacon, liver, onion roll with watercress and dijon mustard mayo from Maria's greasy spoon cafe right in the centre of the main market - usually washed down with a cup of Monmouth coffee.

This weekend I was in Portsmouth, so attempted to recreate this tasty weekend breakfast treat myself. The results weren't entirely successful, but still a good breakfast. Points to improve for next time (possibly tomorrow morning).

Bacon too thin
Liver sliced too thick
I think Maria's may use more expensive Calf's liver, I used lamb's.
Liver was a touch overcooked.
