diabeating it with diet?: Haloumi 'chips'

Haloumi 'chips'

Serves 2 as a light snack. Or, add a salad of bitter greens and walnuts for a light lunch.

You will need:
1 piece Organic Haloumi (180g - 200g)
10g cornflour
Salt & Pepper
Olive oil

Slice the Haloumi into chip size pieces. Lightly coat in cornflour and salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a non-stick fry pan, to a moderate temperature. Gently add the haloumi sticks - careful for splashing oil.

As soon as you have all pieces in, use tongs to rotate onto another edge. Repeat and repeat again until all four sides are nicely browned. Remove from heat. I served with an organic barbecue sauce that had about 7g carb in the small portion I used.

the nitty gritty

This is my own personal dietary journey. Diagnosed in my late twenties with type 1 diabetes, I have begun trying to manage the condition with as little synthetic insulin as possible. Through a low carb, low saturated fat diet and daily exercise, I hope to achieve a healthy balance. I am in no way recommending this diet for anyone else. General wisdom is that, before undertaking any significant dietary changes, you should consult your GP or other health care practitioner. It is important to stress that NO carbohydrates is, in my opinion, not healthy and not sensible. I aim to cut out processed and high GI carb, and balance my consumption with exercise.
