Ingredients

  • 250g halloumi cheese (sliced)
  • 2 tbsp harissa paste
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1/2 cup chickpeas
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 1 lemon (juiced)
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 cup cucumber (diced)
  • 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 2 tbsp fresh mint

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a small bowl, whisk together the harissa paste and honey, then toss the halloumi slices in this mixture until evenly coated.

Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 12–15 minutes until the edges are golden and caramelized.

Meanwhile, prepare the whipped tahini by whisking the tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and two tablespoons of ice-cold water until the mixture turns pale, creamy, and aerated.

To assemble, divide the fluffy quinoa into two bowls.

Arrange the crispy harissa halloumi and chickpeas over the base.

Top with fresh cucumber, a generous drizzle of the whipped lemon tahini, and finish with a scatter of vibrant pomegranate seeds and torn mint leaves for a refreshing contrast.
