One Pan Speedy Halloumi, Chickpea & Kale

We love a one pan dinner and this is one of our favourites! Golden halloumi, with chickpeas and kale is a nourishing easy dish. A dash of tahini adds a rich nuttiness to the dish. You can swap the chickpeas out for red kidney beans, black beans or cannellini beans. The kale can also be swapped for spinach, if you prefer.

Ingredients

  • halloumi 450 g (sliced)
  • red onion 1 (sliced)
  • bell pepper 1 (sliced)
  • garlic cloves 2 (crushed)
  • cherry tomatoes 200 g
  • chickpeas 800 g (drained)
  • vegetable stock cube 1
  • tahini 2 tbsp
  • kale 2 handful
  • olive oil 1 tbsp

Method

  • Slice the halloumi into thick slices. Thinly slice the red onion. Deseed and slice the bell pepper. Use whichever colour bell pepper you prefer. Crush the garlic.
  • Heat half the olive oil in a large frying pan on a medium heat-high heat. Add the halloumi and cook until golden brown on both sides, around 5 minutes.Transfer from the pan.
  • Heat the remaining olive oil in the same pan on a medium heat. Add the red onion, bell pepper and chickpeas and cook for 5 minutes, until the onion starts to soften, stirring often. Add the garlic and cherry tomatoes and cook for another minute.
  • Make up the **vegetable stock cube with 100ml boiling water per serving. Stir the tahini into the hot stock** and stir vigorously to incorporate it. Pour this into the pan and stir vigorously again.
  • Add the kale and cook for 5 minutes, or until it wilts down. Don't worry if it seems like a lot of kale, it will reduce in size as it cooks down. Squish the tomatoes with the back of a spoon as they cook to squish them down into the sauce. Check the seasoning and adjust to taste to how you like. You could also add a squeeze of lemon juice if you like.
  • Scatter the halloumi slices on top of the vegetables then plate up and enjoy!
