Pre Recipe Prep
Marinate your halloumi
To a shallow bowl, add 3 tbsp honey, 1 tsp calabrian chili paste, 1 tbsp olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice and a pinch of salt and mix well. Slice halloumi into 1/4 inch slices and place flat into the honey mixture, coating on all sides. Set aside to marinate while you prep other ingredients or up to overnight.
Make your bread crumbs
To a small frying pan over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Add bread crumbs and a pinch of salt, mixing frequently. Once it starts to sligthly brown, add sesame seeds until it all turns golden brown (about 3-5 minutes). Set aside.
Make your kale salad
Thinly slice your kale, wash and spin dry. Add to a large bowl, sprinkle with salt and massage the kale by squishing it with your hands. Drizzle with juice of half a lemon, 1 tbsp olive oil, and a shit ton of pecorino romano. Mix well and taste, add more lemon, cheese, or oil to your liking.
Cook your halloumi
Heat 1/2 tbsp olive oil to a large frying pan over medium high heat. Add halloumi and cook until golden on one side (about 1-2 minutes). Flip and cook until golden, then add remaining honey mixture to the pan and cook until thickened (about 30 seconds), then flip the halloumi to coat all sides with the sauce. Remove from heat.
Assemble your salad
Plate your kale salad, top with breadcrumbs/sesame seeds, then finish with halloumi. Top with any extra pan sauce.
