- plain flour, for dusting
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 1/2 cups fresh breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup natural flaked almonds, roughly chopped
- oil, for shallow frying
Method:
- Combine orange juice, oil, garlic and mustard in a jar and shake until well combined.
- Arrange rocket, parsley and orange slices on a serving platter.
- Coat haloumi in flour, dip in egg and roll in combined breadcrumbs and almonds, pressing firmly.
