Crispy Pan-Seared Halloumi with Lemon Herb Vegetables
Enjoy a vibrant dish featuring crispy, golden halloumi paired with a medley of lemon-infused, herb-laden vegetables and lightly warm chickpeas. The savory crispness of the halloumi melds beautifully with the freshness of zucchini, red bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes, all enhanced by a drizzle of olive oil, bright lemon juice, and fragrant basil.
INGREDIENTS
110g Halloumi Cheese
60g Chickpeas (canned, rinsed)
100g Zucchini
100g Red Bell Pepper
100g Cherry Tomatoes
0.5 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
3 sprigs Fresh Basil
PREPARATION
Slice the halloumi into ½ cm thick pieces. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the halloumi slices and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden and crispy.
While the halloumi is searing, chop the zucchini, red bell pepper, and halve the cherry tomatoes.
In a separate pan over medium heat, add the olive oil and gently sauté the zucchini and red bell pepper for about 3 minutes until slightly tender.
Add the chickpeas and cherry tomatoes to the vegetable pan, stirring gently. Sauté for another 2 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the vegetables and toss in the fresh basil leaves, allowing the flavors to meld.
Plate the vegetables and chickpeas, then top with the crispy halloumi slices. Serve warm for a delightful meal.
