Method
- For the tomato bread, heat a griddle pan until hot. Cut the bread into thin slices, brush with a little of the olive oil and griddle for a few minutes each side until charred and golden. Rub the peeled garlic clove over 1 side of the griddled bread and arrange on a serving platter.
- Place the chopped tomatoes in a bowl and toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, a pinch of salt and plenty of ground black pepper. Spoon over the griddled bread slices and drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
- For the halloumi, mix the olive oil with the lemon juice and oregano in a bowl and set aside to infuse.
- Slice the halloumi into lengths and place in the hot griddle pan you used to cook the bread. Cook for 1 minute each side, until marked golden with griddle marks, then transfer to a serving plate. Drizzle with the infused olive oil, sprinkle with a little sea salt and plenty of black pepper and serve with the tomato bread, ham and olives.
