peter gordon's fried halloumi topped with chilli, spinach, water chestnut, hazelnut, orange and sun-blushed tomato salad

Another day of pleasing 'er indoors, but today it's born more out of necessity than anything else. We've got a random selection of stuff in the fridge, so it's simply a matter of finding a recipe that requires me to pick up the least ingredients on the way home.

Given Ana is never willingly more than three metres from halloumi, and there's some salad and tomatoes lurking in the crisper, Mr P Gordon's most felicitous salad gets the nod. Alongside another bottle of that fine new cider we like from Waitrose.

Incidentally I forgot to mention, this dish has also enabled me to rediscover another one of my hard-earned knife-skills course, with the easy segmenting of oranges. God, that present gets better and better!
