Cooking Steps

1
  • Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Boil the kettle. Halve the Brussels sprouts. Slice courgette into half-moons. Slice brown onion into wedges.
  • Place veggies on a lined oven tray.
  • Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
  • Arrange brussels sprouts cut-side down and roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool slightly. 


TIP: The Brussels sprouts will char slightly, this adds to the flavour!

2
  • Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Toast pearl couscous, stirring occasionally, until golden, 1-2 minutes.
  • Carefully half-fill the saucepan with boiling water, then add a generous pinch of salt.
  • Simmer, uncovered, until tender, 14-16 minutes.
  • Drain, rinse, transfer to a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil and set aside. 
3
  • While pearl couscous is cooking, finely chop garlic. Zest lemon to get a pinch, then slice lemon into wedges. 
  • Place your hand flat on top of halloumi and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks.
4
  • 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
  • Remove pan from heat, and add Mediterranean seasoning, the honey and a squeeze of lemon juice, turning halloumi to coat. 
5
  • In a small heatproof bowl, combine garlic and a drizzle of olive oil. Microwave in 10 second bursts, until fragrant. Stir in Greek-style yoghurt and lemon zest, until combined. Season.
  • To bowl with pearl couscous, add roasted veggies, the salt and a generous squeeze of lemon juice, tossing to combine.
6
  • Divide pearl couscous salad between bowls. Top with honey glazed Mediterannean halloumi and glaze from the pan. Drizzle over garlic yoghurt. 
  • Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
