Ingredients

  • 250g Halloumi cheese cut into cubes
  • 2 tablespoons harissa paste
  • 2 tablespoons wildflower honey
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup pearl couscous
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
  • 1 lemon zest and juice

Instructions

1
Begin by whisking the harissa, honey, and olive oil in a small bowl until smooth.
2
Toss the halloumi cubes in this glaze and let them marinate for 15 minutes to allow the spicy-sweet flavors to penetrate the cheese.
3
Meanwhile, prepare the pearl couscous according to package directions, fluffing it with a fork once tender.
4
Thread the halloumi onto skewers and grill over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side until charred, golden, and slightly soft.
5
Fold the fresh mint, toasted pine nuts, and lemon zest into the couscous.
6
Serve the skewers piping hot atop a generous bed of the herb-infused couscous, drizzling any remaining glaze over the plate for an added punch of flavor.
