Sigara börek filled with grated halloumi and fresh and dried mint, rolled thin and fried in hot oil until crisp.
A traditional island breakfast of fresh wild asparagus (ayrelli) gathered in the mountains of Cyprus and cooked in olive oil.
Pastırma is warmed briefly in butter and the eggs are cracked on top; the pan comes off the heat as soon as the whites set.
The halloumi goes in last: it cooks for two minutes, browning at the edges and staying soft inside, without leaching its salt and moisture into the tomatoes. No salt is added.
