Having seen this cheese on a Rick Stein in Greece programme, I used it to make a light lunch. It’s just “my quick take”, so not exactly authentically Greek. We love the raw garlic but omit if not your thing.

Steps

15 or so minutes including prep

1

Around the circumference of each eating plate, distribute the tomato slices (put a little salt, oregano, shallot and garlic on each), and the cucumber slices (put a little salt on each).
2

Bring the olive oil to a high heat in a frying pan with a strong base.
3

Briefly rinse the cheese slices under a slow-running cold tap, then smother them in the flour, lift and gently shake off any excess.
4

Fry the cheese slices for 8-10 minutes, carefully turning them over halfway through, or until both sides are bubbling and golden brown. Place one slice in the middle of each plate and squeeze the juice of half a lemon onto each cheese slice.
