This balanced dish offers an inviting blend of textures and flavors, perfect for a satisfying dinner that energizes and delights.
INGREDIENTS
120g Halloumi Cheese
1/2 cup cooked Quinoa (111g)
6 Asparagus Spears
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tbsp chopped Fresh Parsley
1 tbsp chopped Fresh Mint
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss the asparagus spears with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 10-12 minutes until tender.
Meanwhile, rinse and drain quinoa if making from scratch, or prepare your pre-cooked quinoa. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and stir in lemon juice, chopped parsley, and mint. Season with salt and pepper.
Slice the halloumi cheese into 1/2 inch thick pieces. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the halloumi slices. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until a golden, crispy crust forms.
Plate the quinoa as a bed, arrange the roasted asparagus on the side, and top with crispy halloumi slices. Drizzle any remaining lemon-herb mixture over the dish for an extra burst of flavor.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your balanced, vibrant meal.
