Ingredients

  • 250g halloumi cheese sliced
  • 1 cup cooked pearl couscous
  • 2 tbsp rose harissa paste
  • 2 tbsp wildflower honey
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1/4 cup toasted pistachios
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cucumber diced

Instructions

1
Begin by whisking the rose harissa, honey, and one tablespoon of olive oil in a small bowl until smooth.
2
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the halloumi slices for 2 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
3
Once flipped, brush the harissa-honey glaze generously over the cheese, allowing it to bubble and caramelize for another 30 seconds before removing from the heat.
4
In a large serving bowl, fluff the warm pearl couscous with lemon zest and the remaining olive oil.
5
Arrange the sticky, glazed halloumi over the base and garnish with diced cucumber, vibrant pomegranate seeds, crushed pistachios, and fresh mint leaves.
6
Serve immediately while the cheese is warm and supple to enjoy the perfect contrast of salty, sweet, and cooling textures.
