Ingredients

  • halloumi 225 g (sliced)
  • red onion 1 (diced)
  • bell pepper 1 (diced)
  • courgette 1 (diced)
  • couscous 240 g
  • vegetable stock cube 400 g
  • lemon 2 tbsp (juice)
  • garlic cloves 2 (crushed)
  • smoked paprika 1 tsp
  • ground cumin 1 tsp
  • fresh parsley 1 handful (chopped)
  • fresh mint 1 handful (chopped)
  • olive oil 3 tbsp

Method

  • Preheat the grill to a medium-high heat. Crush the garlic. Juice the lemon.
  • In a small bowl, mix together 2/3 of the olive oil, the crushed garlic, paprika, cumin, and lemon juice to make a marinade. Slice the halloumi and place in a shallow ovenproof dish and pour the marinade on top. Allow to marinate while you prep your vegetables.
  • Meanwhile deseed and roughly dice your preferred colour bell pepper. Roughly dice your courgette and red onion.
  • Bring the vegetable stock to the boil in a medium saucepan. If you're using a stock cube dissolve it in 100ml boiling water per serving. Add the couscous to your bowl or pan and stir well. Cover and leave for 5 minutes, until all the liquid is absorbed.
  • Place the halloumi under the grill for 5 minutes each side or until golden and slightly charred.
  • Whilst the halloumi cooks, heat the remaining olive oil in a frying pan on a medium heat. Add the bell pepper, courgette, and red onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring from time to time.
  • Stir the freshly chopped parsley, mint and cooked vegetables into the couscous. Use a fork to make your couscous extra fluffy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the halloumi on top of the couscous and enjoy!
