Cooking Steps

1
  • To a medium saucepan, add the water and bring to the boil.
  • Add basmati rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low.
  • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove pan from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10 minutes. 

TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!

2
  • Meanwhile, drain sweetcorn. Thinly slice tomato into wedges. Trim end of cos lettuce then separate leaves (see ingredients). 

Little cooks: Help wash and toss the veggies! Older kids can help out with the can opener under adult supervision.

3
  • Cut halloumi into 1cm slices.
  • In a medium bowl, combine halloumi, Tex-Mex spice blend, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt. 

Little cooks: Help with sprinkling over the seasoning and tossing the halloumi.

4
  • Heat a large frying pan over high heat.
  • Cook corn kernels until lightly browned, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the kernels are “popping” out.

5
  • Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
  •  Cook halloumi, until golden brown, 1-2 minutes each side.
6
  • Divide rice, Mexican halloumi, charred corn, tomato and cos lettuce between plates.
  • Serve with Cheddar cheese and smokey aioli. Enjoy! 

Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling the cheese on top and drizzling over the aioli!
