Halloumi And Bean Stew Recipes

BEAN & HALLOUMI STEW

Steps:

• Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and pepper, along with a pinch of salt and fry for 10 mins or until softened. Add the garlic, pesto and ground coriander, and cook for 1 min. Tip in the beans and tomatoes along with ½ can of water, then bring to a simmer and cook uncovered for 10 mins.
• Add the remaining oil to a separate frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the halloumi for 2 mins on each side or until golden brown.
• Taste the beans for seasoning, then spoon into deep bowls. Top with the halloumi and scatter over the chopped coriander. Serve with garlic bread, if you like.

HALLOUMI THREE-BEAN SALAD WITH POMEGRANATE-HARISSA VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Cook each halloumi slab on all 4 sides, about 5 minutes. Set aside and allow to cool slightly; cut into 1/4-inch cubes.
• While cheese is cooking, whisk pomegranate vinegar, honey, harissa, olive oil, and black pepper together in a dressing jar. Set aside.
• Combine black beans, kidney beans, white beans, onion, mint, and cilantro in a bowl and toss with a spoon. Add cooked halloumi. Drizzle vinaigrette dressing over salad and toss to coat. Cover and allow to sit at room temperature at least 15 minutes.

HALLOUMI AND BEAN STEW

Steps:

• Heat the oil in the pan and fry the onion and pepper for 2-3mins. Stir in the courgette, garlic and tomato puree and cook for 2mins.
• Add the cherry tomatoes and the caster sugar and bring to the boil, then simmer gently for 8min until thickened slightly.
• Meanwhile, brush a griddle pan lightly with oil. Griddle the halloumi, over a medium heat, for 1-2mins each side until golden.
• Add the beans to the vegetables and cook for 2mins until warmed through. Stir in the watercress and chilli oil. Serve topped with halloumi slices and lemon wedges.

HALLOUMI AND POTATO STEW

Steps:

• In a ovenproof casserole pan gently fry the shallots, pepper and leek, add the cherry tomatoes, olives, halloumi cheese, all the potatoes, pour over the stock and stir in the pesto and chilies.
• Place in the oven and cook at 400 degrees F for 40 minutes.

BAGHALI GHATOGH (FAVA BEAN STEW)

Steps:

• Add the oil and garlic to a medium pot, then set it over medium-low heat. Cook the garlic, stirring often, until fragrant and cooked, taking care not to burn it, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the turmeric, stir and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the beans, dill, 1½ teaspoons salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Stir gently so the beans don't break, and cook for about 3 minutes, just so the flavors meld and no longer taste raw.
• Increase the heat to medium-high, add enough water to cover the beans, about 2 cups (or more as needed, if you're using cannellini beans, which absorb more liquid), and bring to a gentle boil. Partially cover with the lid barely ajar, reduce the heat to medium-low, and gently simmer, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender, but still maintain their shape (no mushy beans please), and the flavors have come to life, about 12 minutes.
• Taste the beans and liquid for salt and pepper, and adjust as needed. The stew should be juicy enough to serve over rice, but if it seems too liquidy, remove the lid and cook a little longer to reduce it, keeping in mind that the eggs will also thicken it up. Add a little more water if the stew is too thick.
• Increase the heat to medium and add the eggs one at a time. If poaching whole eggs, use 4 eggs and make individual wells in the stew before adding each egg. Cook, uncovered, until the whites set and the yolk is cooked to desired consistency, 3 to 5 minutes. (Alternately, you can stir the eggs in: Add 3 eggs, then run a spoon through each egg to break them apart and cook, slightly covered, until the eggs set, about 3 to 5 minutes.) Taste, add more water if the stew is too thick, adjust seasoning and serve.
