Tomatoes with Haloumi cheese

Ingredients: 

• 2 large tomatoes, firm and ripe
• 250 gr of haloumi cheese, sliced
• fresh bay leaves
• 1 large onion, sliced
• a few slices of avocado
• 2 tbs of fresh, finely chopped chives
• olive oil and a little vinegar
• salt
• cayenne pepper

Slice the tomatoes. In a non-stick frying pan, lightly fry the slices of haloumi cheese until golden brown on both sides. Break the bay leaves up by hand and sauté in the same pan used for the haloumi.
Next, arrange the fried haloumi slices on a large serving platter, in a half circle and decorate in between with slices of avocado. Arrange a smaller half circle with the tomato slices; in the centre, place the onion on the tomato and the bay leaves on top.
Sprinkle the chopped chives over the platter, drizzle a little olive oil over the cheese and tomatoes, and very little vinegar on the tomatoes only.
Lastly, sprinkle the tomatoes with salt.
Instead of chives, sprinkle the haloumi with finely chopped mint. It actually goes better in this dish.
