Ingredients

  • 250g halloumi cheese sliced
  • 1 cup pearl couscous
  • 2 tbsp harissa paste
  • 3 tbsp wildflower honey
  • 1/2 cucumber diced
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts

Instructions

1
First, prepare the pearl couscous according to package instructions and fluff with a fork once tender.
2
While the couscous cooks, whisk together the harissa paste, honey, and lemon juice in a small bowl to create the spicy-sweet glaze.
3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the halloumi slices until deep golden brown on both sides.
4
Reduce heat to low, pour the harissa-honey mixture over the cheese, and toss gently for 30 seconds until the sauce bubbles and caramelizes onto the edges.
5
Assemble your bowls by layering the warm couscous with the glazed halloumi, fresh cucumber, and cherry tomatoes.
6
Finally, garnish with a generous scatter of toasted pine nuts and torn fresh mint leaves for a burst of brightness.
