Ingredients

  • 250g halloumi cheese sliced
  • 1 cup cooked pearl couscous
  • 1/2 cup chickpeas
  • 2 tbsp harissa paste
  • 2 tbsp wildflower honey
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1/2 cucumber diced
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 lime juiced

Instructions

1
Begin by whisking together the harissa, honey, and olive oil in a small bowl to create a sticky, spicy-sweet glaze.
2
Pat the halloumi slices dry with a paper towel to ensure maximum crispiness.
3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the halloumi for two minutes per side until a deep golden crust forms.
4
Add the glaze directly to the pan during the final 30 seconds of cooking, allowing it to bubble and coat the cheese thoroughly.
5
In a large bowl, fluff the pearl couscous and toss with the cucumber and chickpeas.
6
Arrange the glazed halloumi on top.
7
Finish by garnishing with a generous scattering of pomegranate seeds, fresh mint, and a bright squeeze of lime juice to cut through the richness of the cheese.
