INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked lentils
0.1 cup cooked chickpeas
3 ounces halloumi cheese
1 cup fresh spinach
1 garlic clove
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
PREPARATION
Rinse and drain the cooked lentils and chickpeas if using canned versions. Set aside.
Heat a non‐stick pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, cumin, and smoked paprika. If needed, use a light water or vegetable broth spray to prevent sticking.
Add the lentils and chickpeas to the pot and stir to coat with the spices. Allow the flavors to meld for about 2 minutes.
Fold in the fresh spinach and let it wilt into the stew. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Meanwhile, preheat a grill pan over medium heat. Slice the halloumi cheese into thick slices and grill for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden and slightly crispy.
Spoon the warm stew into a bowl and top with the grilled halloumi. Serve immediately and enjoy the blend of hearty legumes with the savory, grilled cheese.
