Use the scaled ingredient list. Steps and temperatures stay unchanged; use a larger pan or dish if needed. Seasonings to taste stay to taste.
How to make it
Soak the halloumi in cold water for fifteen minutes, drain it and pat it completely dry.
Cut the cheese into centimetre slices — thinner and it dries out, thicker and it will not heat through.
Cut the chilled watermelon into large cubes and keep it in the fridge until serving.
Heat a dry pan hard and sear the halloumi two minutes a side, to dark stripes.
Whisk the olive oil with the lemon juice, honey and pepper.
Arrange the watermelon, rocket and hot cheese, spoon over the dressing and scatter with mint. Serve at once.
