Halloumi With Broccoli Tabbouleh Honey Harissa Dressing Recipes

HALLOUMI WITH BROCCOLI TABBOULEH & HONEY-HARISSA DRESSING

Steps:

• Put the couscous into a bowl and cover with boiling water. Cover with cling film and set aside for 5 mins.
• Blanch the broccoli for 2 mins, then drain well. Cut it into small pieces or blitz it in a food processor.
• Fork the broccoli, spring onions, tomatoes, herbs, lemon zest, the juice of 1½ lemons and 2 tbsp oil through the couscous. Season and mix well.
• To make the dressing, combine the harissa, honey, remaining lemon juice and oil, and some seasoning.
• Heat a non-stick frying pan and cook the halloumi for 1-2 mins on each side until golden. Divide the couscous between the plates, top with the halloumi slices and dressing, then scatter over the almonds.

HALLOUMI WITH QUICK SWEET CHILLI SAUCE

Steps:

• Slice 2 of the chillies, leaving the seeds in, then de-seed the third and chop it into fine dice (this is for full-on fieriness; you may de-seed more cautiously if you wish) and add to a small pan - ideally, the sort sold as a butter-melting pan - along with the honey, and squeeze in 1 teaspoon of lime juice from one half of the lime. Put the pan on the smallest ring on the hob and bring to a bubble, then turn the heat down low, and let it foam away for 4 minutes. Stir frequently and do not leave the pan unattended, otherwise it will foam over the hob. Remove from the heat.
• Before you turn to the halloumi, arrange a few salad leaves on 2 plates, and pour as much or as little oil over them as you want. Cut the un-juiced half of the lime into wedges, and pop one on each plate if so wished.
• Slice the halloumi block into 8 pieces, and heat a cast-iron or heavy-based frying pan. When it's hot, add the slices and cook them - without any oil in the pan - for 30-60 seconds until they are tiger-striped underneath, then turn the slices over and cook until the underside is patchily bronzed, too.
• Remove the halloumi to the salad-lined plates and spoon the lipstick-red pieces of chilli in their honeyed glaze over the cheese. Eat immediately. Not hard to do.
• STORE NOTE: Transfer cooled leftover chilli sauce to a jar, then seal and store in fridge for up to 2 weeks.
