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
