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 finely chopped
1/4 cup toasted slivered almonds
1 large lemon zested and juiced
1 red bell pepper cut into chunks

Instructions

First, whisk the harissa, honey, and olive oil in a small bowl to create a spicy-sweet marinade.

Thread the halloumi cubes and bell pepper chunks onto skewers, brush generously with the glaze, and grill over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side until charred and golden.

While the skewers grill, prepare the pearl couscous according to package directions.

Once fluffy, fold in the lemon zest, lemon juice, fresh mint, and toasted almonds to create a vibrant, aromatic base.

Arrange the skewers atop the minted couscous, drizzling any remaining glaze over the plate for an added punch of flavor.

Serve immediately while the cheese is soft and warm.
