A ridiculously easy one-pan keto lunch: spicy chorizo meets golden halloumi, drenched in butter and herbs. High fat, high flavor, zero regrets.
- 2 oz chorizo sausage (sliced)
- 7 oz halloumi cheese (cubed)
- 1 tbsp butter or olive oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
- Fresh parsley (chopped)
- Lemon wedge (for serving)
Prepare ingredients – Slice the chorizo into thin coins and cube the halloumi. Pat the cheese dry with paper towels for extra crispiness.
Fry the chorizo – Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook for 4–5 minutes, until it releases its red oil and starts to crisp.
Add the halloumi – Stir in butter and the cheese cubes. Fry for another 3–5 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden on all sides.
Finish & season – Sprinkle with smoked paprika and chopped parsley. Squeeze lemon over before serving for a sharp, fresh contrast.
Serve hot – Straight from the skillet or with a small side salad or avocado slices.
