Method
Heat up half of the olive oil and gently fry the onion for about 10 minutes, adding in the oregano. Then add the red pepper, frying for a further 5 minutes until the pepper is softening. Add the mushrooms and cook together for about 5 minutes. Sprinkle over the paprika, stir well, add the capers and olives, cooking for a few minutes before adding the tinned chopped tomatoes. Simmer for a further 5-10 minutes. Turn the heat off and leave in the pan.
Heat the remainder of the olive oil in a frying pan and when hot, put the cubed halloumi into the pan, cooking until the halloumi is browned.
Put the caponata into a bowl and then add the halloumi on the top.
Enjoy!
