Description
The Crispy Halloumi Honey Grain Bowl is a vibrant and satisfying meal that combines crispy halloumi with wholesome grains and fresh vegetables.
Ingredients
- Halloumi cheese
- Grains (farro, quinoa, brown rice, couscous, bulgur, or wild rice)
- Honey
- Cherry tomatoes
- Cucumber
- Red onion
- Bell peppers
- Mixed greens or baby spinach
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Fresh lemon juice
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare your grains by following the package instructions for your chosen grain. Cook in vegetable broth for added flavor, then fluff and set aside to cool slightly.
- Chop your vegetables into bite-sized pieces: halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, thinly slice the red onion, and finely chop the bell peppers. Place them in a large bowl with the fresh greens.
- Slice the halloumi cheese into 1/4-inch thick planks or cubes and pat them dry with a paper towel. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with a tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the halloumi in a single layer for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, fresh lemon juice, and about 2-3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble your bowls by starting with a base of cooked grains, then adding the fresh greens and chopped vegetables on top. Place the warm, crispy halloumi pieces over everything and drizzle with the honey-lemon dressing.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the warmth of the grains and the crispiness of the halloumi.
