Ingredients

  • 80g halloumi
  • 120g brown rice
  • 80g spinach
  • 80g red pepper
  • 25g curry paste
  • 60g greek yoghurt
  • 10g lemon juice
  • fresh coriander & a pinch of garam masala

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the spinach and peppers, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Simmer the brown rice in plenty of water for 25 minutes until tender, then drain.

  3. 3

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

  4. 4

    Combine the tikka paste, yoghurt and lemon juice. Coat the protein and leave for at least 10 minutes (or overnight) before cooking.

  5. 5

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

  6. 6

    Build the plate: brown rice first, then the veg and halloumi, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the fresh coriander & a pinch of garam masala.
