• Thinly slice courgette into half-moons.
• Cut halloumi into 1cm-thick 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. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook half the garlic until fragrant, 1 minute.

• Set aside until water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork.
• When the halloumi are done, return frying pan to medium-high heat. Cook celery, onion and courgette, tossing, until tender, 5-7 minutes.
• Add garlic & herb seasoning, a pinch of chilli flakes (if using), tomato paste and remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
• Return halloumi to the pan, then add the water (for the sauce), brown sugar and butter and simmer, stirring, until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes.
• Stir in baby leaves until wilted.
• Divide garlicky couscous between bowls.
• Top with saucy spiced halloumi.
• Spoon over any remaning sauce from pan to serve. Enjoy!
