4 large red peppers
290g jar antipasti marinated mushrooms
50g couscous
100ml hot vegetable stock
250g halloumi cheese, cut into cubes
2 tsp chopped fresh parsley

  • Preheat the oven to 200C/Gas 6/fan oven 180C. Cut the peppers in half through the stalks and scoop out the seeds. Put the peppers in one layer on a baking sheet.

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 1/2 ounces couscous
10 ounces roasted red peppers, in oil, drained and roughlt chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, crushed
5 ounces mushrooms, sliced (any sort or a mixture)
5 ounces halloumi cheese, cubed
1/2 ounce fresh mixed herbs, chopped, to garnish

Steps:

  • Place the couscous in a shallow dish and pour over 1 1/4 cups boiling water or boiling hot vegetable stock. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and leave for 5 minutes Tip the roasted peppers into a small pan and heat gently for 3-4 minutes.
  • Heat one tbs of the oil in a large frying pan and fry the garlic for 1 minute Add the mushrooms and fry for 3-4 mins until lightly golden. Set aside.

  • Stir the peppers and chopped herbs through the couscous and season with salt and pepper. Spoon onto plates and top with the pan-fried halloumi and mushrooms. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • To ensure the halloumi is cooked evenly, slice it into uniform thickness.
  • For a crispier halloumi, cook it in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
  • If you don't have a non-stick pan, you can grease a regular pan with cooking oil to prevent the halloumi from sticking.
  • Cook the halloumi until it is golden brown and slightly charred on the outside, but still soft and tender on the inside.
  • To make the couscous, use boiling water and follow the package instructions.
  • While the couscous is cooking, prepare the vegetables.
  • Once the couscous is cooked, fluff it with a fork and add the vegetables, halloumi, and dressing.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
