Thinly slice the beetroot on a mandoline and arrange in a shallow container.

When ready to serve, heat the olive oil in a pan. Season the halloumi with salt and freshly ground black pepper and fry for 2-3 minutes on both sides, or until golden-brown all over. Remove from the pan and drain on kitchen paper.
To serve, arrange a ring of beetroot on each of four serving plates, then top the beetroot with the halloumi. Sprinkle over the capers and top each plate with a small handful of baby rocket.
