Roasted Pepper Tapenade Canapé with Halloumi and Crispy Kale

Step  0: Preheat an oven to 180 degrees. Place the pitta breads on a baking tray and drizzle with half the olive oil. Put the kale on a separate baking tray and cover with the remaining olive oil, salt and pepper and mix with your hands to ensure the oil evenly coats the kale.
Step  1: Bake in the oven for 5-8 mins until the pittas are toasted and the kale is crispy. Put the halloumi on a baking tray lined with baking parchment, place in the oven and bake for around 5-8 mins until lightly browned and soft.
Step  2: Whilst the halloumi is cooking assemble the canapes. Place a small spoon of the Roasted Pepper Tapenade on each pitta chip and a piece of crispy kale. When the halloumi is cooked, place one piece on each canape and finish with a slice of preserved lemon. Serve immediately.
