Ingredients

  • 80g halloumi
  • 150g quinoa
  • 80g cucumber
  • 80g asparagus
  • 15g balsamic vinegar
  • 5g honey
  • 3g garlic
  • 5g olive oil
  • 20g rocket

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the cucumber and asparagus, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Rinse the quinoa and simmer in 2 parts water for 15 minutes until the tails appear, then fluff.

  3. 3

    Slice the halloumi and dry-fry in a griddle pan for 2 minutes per side until charred.

  4. 4

    Simmer the balsamic vinegar with honey and garlic for 2-3 minutes until syrupy. Drizzle over the protein and veg.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the cucumber and asparagus for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the plate: quinoa first, then the veg and halloumi, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the rocket.
