INGREDIENTS
1 cup Cooked Green Lentils (198g)
85g Halloumi Cheese
2 cups Fresh Baby Spinach (60g)
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes (120g)
1/4 medium Red Onion (30g)
1 clove Garlic
1/2 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 cup Vegetable Broth (60g)
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
If your lentils aren’t pre-cooked, prepare them according to package instructions until tender.
Thinly slice the halloumi cheese into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Heat 1/2 tsp olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the quartered red onion and minced garlic; sauté until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and smoked paprika. Let the mixture simmer for about 2 minutes to meld the flavors.
Add the cooked lentils and vegetable broth to the skillet. Allow the mixture to warm and thicken slightly, about 3 minutes. Then toss in the baby spinach and cook until just wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a separate non-stick pan over medium-high heat, lightly sear the halloumi slices for 2 minutes per side until golden and crispy on the outside.
To serve, spoon the creamy lentil and spinach mixture onto a plate and arrange the seared halloumi on top. Enjoy your nutritious and satisfying dinner!
