• In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Toast pearl couscous, stirring occasionally, until golden, 1-2 minutes. • Half-fill the saucepan with boiling water, then add a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil, then simmer, uncovered, until tender, 10-12 minutes. • Drain couscous and return to the pan with a drizzle of olive oil.
• Cut halloumi into 1cm slices. • 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. Set aside. • Cook diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 4-6 minutes. • Remove pan from heat, return the halloumi then add the honey, turning halloumi and bacon to coat.
• Slice lemon into wedges. • Add the roasted veggies to the pearl couscous, along with red pesto, a squeeze of lemon juice and baby leaves. Stir to combine. • Divide pearl couscous between bowls. • Top with honey-glazed halloumi and bacon to serve. Enjoy!
