| Saganaki - Fried Cheese
In Greece a "saganaki" is usually cooked in a small frying pan, so it can be taken straight to the table (sagani actually translates "small frying pan") 250 gr. any hard kosher cheese, (Kefalotyri, Parmesan, Gruyere or rennet-free Cypriot Haloumi) 50 gr. olive oil Lemon juice of 1/2 lemon Some flour Black pepper Cut the cheese into 1 cm thick slices. Slightly moist in cold water and turn in flour to cover from all sides. Heat the oil in a frying pan and put the slices in. Turn the heat down a little and let it cook for 1-2 minutes until it bubbles. It should not turn brown, but should look creamy and sticky. Sprinkle a little lemon juice on top and some black pepper and serve at once piping hot with fresh bread and extra lemon (and maybe some Ouzo).
