Ingredients

  • 8 slice of thin cut Halloumi (Greek frying/grilling cheese)
  • 16 large ready cooked prawns
  • 400 grams blackberries
  • 2 large tablespoons runny honey
  • 1 tbsp cognac or brandy
  • 1 tbsp Port
  • 1 tablespoon cornflour
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons water

Method

  • Put your cognac, port and honey into a small saucepan.
  • Mix the honey with the alcohol stirring it until they have infused over heat.
  • Add 200 grams of the berries and gently simmer until they pop and release their juice.
  • Take the mixture of the heat and cool slightly.
  • With a blender mix until smooth
  • With a fine sieve separate the seeds from the juice.
  • I use the handle of a wooden spoon to stir the juice gently through the sieve.
  • It will be thicker then just normal juice and smooth.Discard the seeds , return juice back to the pot
  • Reheat gently .Mix the cornflour with the water, add to the juice until it slightly thickens to a sauce .
  • Take of heat .
  • Add the rest of the berries and leave to cool.
  • This mixture can be used for savouries and puddings alike.
  • It keeps 2-3 days in fridge .
  • Heat frying pan and fry the halloumi from both sides to brown, it should not be rubbery when cooked.
  • Arrange cheese as served here Iwith lettuce , prawns and the sauce.
  • I had this as a light lunch but it could equally serve as a starter.
