Ingredients

  • 250g halloumi cheese sliced
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 tbsp rose harissa paste
  • 2 tbsp wildflower honey
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 cup baby arugula
  • 1/2 cucumber diced
  • 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 2 tbsp toasted pine nuts
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

1
Begin by whisking together the rose harissa, wildflower honey, and smoked paprika in a small bowl to create the glaze.
2
Pat the halloumi slices dry with a paper towel.
3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the halloumi for 2 minutes per side until a golden, crispy crust develops.
4
Once seared, reduce the heat to low, pour the glaze directly over the cheese, and toss gently for 30 seconds until the halloumi is perfectly coated and caramelized.
5
To assemble, fluff your cooked quinoa and layer it in a bowl topped with fresh arugula and diced cucumbers.
6
Arrange the glazed halloumi on top, garnish generously with pomegranate seeds and toasted pine nuts, then finish with a bright squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of premium olive oil.
