Ingredients

  • 250g halloumi cheese (cubed)
  • 2 tbsp harissa paste
  • 2 tbsp wildflower honey
  • 1 cup dry quinoa
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves (chopped)
  • 1 red bell pepper (diced)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lemon (juiced)
  • 1/4 cup toasted pistachios

Instructions

1
Begin by rinsing the quinoa thoroughly under cold water, then simmer in vegetable broth for 15 minutes until fluffy; set aside to cool slightly.
2
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the harissa paste, honey, and half of the lemon juice to create a sticky, spicy-sweet glaze.
3
Thread the halloumi cubes and bell pepper pieces onto wooden skewers, brushing them generously with the glaze.
4
Heat a cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat and sear the skewers for 2 minutes per side until the halloumi develops a deep, golden-brown crust.
5
Toss the cooked quinoa with fresh mint, the remaining lemon juice, and olive oil.
6
Serve the hot, charred skewers over the vibrant herb quinoa and finish with a sprinkle of crushed pistachios for a satisfying textural crunch.
