    Place the Le Creuset 3-ply Stainless Steel 30cm Shallow Casserole over a medium heat. Add the slices of halloumi cheese to the dry pan and fry for 30 seconds or so until golden. Flip and continue to fry in batches until all the halloumi has been cooked. Remove from the heat and add the chopped tomatoes to the pan with the tablespoon of olive oil, season and let the tomatoes fry for 5 minutes until they blister. Turn off the heat.
