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

Begin by whisking the harissa, honey, and olive oil in a small bowl until smooth.

Toss the halloumi cubes in this glaze and let them marinate for 15 minutes to allow the spicy-sweet flavors to penetrate the cheese.

Meanwhile, prepare the pearl couscous according to package directions, fluffing it with a fork once tender.

Thread the halloumi onto skewers and grill over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side until charred, golden, and slightly soft.

Fold the fresh mint, toasted pine nuts, and lemon zest into the couscous.

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.
