1 egg
2 tbsp plain flour
4 tbsp panko breadcrumbs
vegetable oil for frying (optional)
2 ciabatta rolls
1 tbsp pesto
2 tbsp yogurt
1 handful rocket or baby spinach
2 large roasted red peppers

Steps

Heat the oven to 425 F and cut the potatoes into wedges.
Toss the wedges with olive oil, fennel seeds, and minced garlic, then roast on a large baking sheet for 30 minutes.
Cook the tomatoes, roasted peppers, chili, garlic, vinegar, and extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium heat for 8 minutes, then mash into salsa.
Beat the egg in one shallow bowl and place the flour and panko in separate shallow bowls.
Cut the halloumi into four pieces, coat each piece in flour, egg, and panko, then fry in oil over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Mix the pesto and yogurt, spread it on the ciabatta rolls, and add the rocket, halloumi, and salsa.
