Step 1

Place water in a medium-sized saucepan; bring to the boil. Place zucchini into boiling water, it will stop bubbling briefly. Bring water to gentle boil, simmer 4-5 min, until zucchini just tender and bright in colour. Drain, rinse with cold water, place on a paper towel, and set aside.

Heat remaining oil in a small non-stick frying pan. Slice each haloumi block into 6 pieces. Fry in hot oil; 1-2 mins each side, until just browned.
