So many of you asked for this recipe! Featuring my new obsession - crunchy grated halloumi pieces. They make the best topping for this fresh, herby, yogurt-y rice bowl. When grated and fried they pop and crisp up in the pan. This makes a seriously tasty and healthy lunch or dinner, especially in spring and summer. You’ll need (serves 2): 250-300g cooked, cooled white rice (150g uncooked weight, or use a pouch) 1/2 cucumber, finely sliced 2-3 spring onions, finely chopped Small handful of mint leaves, finely sliced Small handful of dill, finely chopped (about 2 tbsp worth) 1 garlic clove, crushed or grated 100g Greek yogurt (for best flavour, avoid using fat free) 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil Juice of a small lemon 1 block of halloumi (200-220g) Pomegranate seeds In a bowl mix the rice, cucumber, spring onion, mint, dill, garlic, Greek yogurt and olive oil. Mix and season with salt and pepper and add the lemon. Mix and taste test, adjusting seasoning to taste (bear in mind the halloumi is salty). Grate the halloumi. You will need to hold it quite tight, and some bits might crumble but that’s fine. Heat a frying pan to a medium to hot temperature. If you’ve got a good non-stick pan you barely need any oil. If your pan isn’t so great, use a little oil, maybe 1-2 tablespoons. Add the halloumi and stir regularly. It will go a little watery before it drys out and crisps up, so bear with it. Top the halloumi on the rice and finish with pomegranate seeds. #saladtok #ricebowl #halloumilover #cheesetok

You asked for more crispy grated halloumi recipes 🧀 well here you go! This one might be my favourite yet… A courgette and couscous salad bowl are dressed in a simple tahini dressing, then finished with the crispy grated halloumi and picked red onions. This is the ultimate summer salad - it’s fresh, crunchy, healthy. This meal is pretty quick to make, about 15-20 mins, and there’s no cooking involved apart from frying the halloumi. You’ll need (per portion): 60g couscous, dried weight, I used wholegrain 1 courgette Handful of rocket leaves 1/2 block of halloumi (about 100g) Pickled red onions For the dressing: 1 heaped tbsp tahini 1 heaped tbsp greek yogurt Juice of 1/2 a lemon 1 small garlic clove, finely chopped or grated 1-2 tbsp water Boil a kettle. Put the couscous in a small bowl with a good pinch of salt. Pour over enough hot water to cover plus about 1cm. Leave to sit. Make the dressing by mixing all off the ingredients together. Season with salt and pepper. Finely slice the courgettes and add them to a large bowl with the rocket, couscous and dressing. Mix well. Taste and add more salt and pepper to taste (don’t go overboard, the halloumi is salty). Grate the halloumi and add to a hot frying pan. Stir and fry until it’s golden and crispy. It will go wet before crisping up! Keep going. Serve the salad topped with the crispy, crunchy halloumi and finish with picked red onions. Dig in! #halloumicheese #cheesetok #foodie #simplerecipe #vegetarianmeals #lunchideas #saladtok
