Ingredients

  • 80g halloumi
  • 120g couscous
  • 80g brussels sprouts
  • 80g cauliflower
  • 20g lemon juice
  • 5g olive oil
  • 6g garlic
  • fresh parsley, thyme & black pepper
  • lemon wedge

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the sprouts and cauliflower, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Pour just-boiled stock over the couscous, cover for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

  3. 3

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

  4. 4

    Toss the protein in lemon juice, olive oil, garlic and herbs before cooking, and squeeze over more lemon to finish.

  5. 5

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

  6. 6

    Build the plate: couscous first, then the veg and halloumi, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the lemon wedge.
