Cooking Steps

1

• Note: This recipe is designed to be cooked with your child under adult supervision. • Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut potato into fries. • Place on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. • Bake until tender, 20-25 minutes. • In a medium bowl, place halloumi and cover with water to soak. TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the fries between two trays. Little cooks: Help with sprinkling over the salt and tossing the potatoes.

2

• Meanwhile, finely chop celery and garlic. • Thinly slice onion. • Drain halloumi and pat dry. Cut the halloumi into 1cm-thick slices. Little cooks: Don your goggles and have a go at peeling off the onion's outer layer!

3

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook halloumi until golden brown, 1-2 minutes each side.

4

• Reduce heat to medium, add classic roast seasoning, tomato paste and garlic, and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Remove pan from heat, add the water and baby spinach leaves, stirring, until wilted, 1 minute. Season to taste.

5

• Heat pita bread in a sandwich press for 30 seconds, until warmed through. • Halve pita bread and fill with halloumi mixture and shredded Cheddar cheese. • Place pitas on a second lined oven tray, and bake until cheese is melted and golden, 5-8 minutes. Spoon any overflowing filling and cheese back into pockets. Little cooks: Kids can add the finishing touch by sprinkling the cheese on top.

6

• Divide cheese and halloumi 'pizza' pockets and fries between plates. Enjoy!
