Ingredients
- 250g halloumi cheese (sliced)
- 2 tbsp harissa paste
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 cup cooked pearl couscous
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup chopped mint
- 1/4 cup toasted pistachios
- 2 tbsp tahini
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 2 cups baby arugula
Instructions
1
Begin by whisking the harissa paste and honey in a small bowl until smooth.
2
In a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, sear the halloumi slices for 2 minutes per side until golden brown.
3
Brush the harissa-honey glaze over the cheese during the final 30 seconds of cooking, allowing it to caramelize slightly without burning.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and a splash of warm water until it reaches a pourable, creamy consistency.
5
Assemble your bowls by layering the pearl couscous and fresh arugula as a base.
6
Top with the glazed halloumi, shredded carrots, and a generous sprinkling of toasted pistachios and fresh mint.
7
Finish by drizzling the creamy lemon-tahini sauce over the entire bowl just before serving to maintain the perfect balance of heat, sweetness, and nutty richness.
