    It's been too long since I shared a halloumi recipe. This one is so so delicious and, even better, it's just so easy.

    We've got some burst cherry tomatoes cooked with chilli for a little heat then the halloumi is fried and tossed with the tomatoes.

    I finish everything with white beans, nigella seeds, red onion and fresh mint. It's so simple but everything works together perfectly.

    Why we love this recipe...

    It's an easy vegetarian main course which is packed with healthy ingredients and fresh flavours.

    This would make a great quick and easy dinner but would also work perfectly for a simple lunch.

    It's really customisable depending on your preferences and what you have on hand.

    It also makes great leftovers which last a couple of days in the fridge.

    Ingredients

    This section is here to provide further tips and ideas for alternative ingredients. The full recipe and instructions are included in the recipe card at the bottom of the post!

    Halloumi: I like to cube the halloumi for maximum crispy browned edges

    Cherry Tomatoes: These are halved and cooked in a pan until saucey

    Chilli: Adjust the amount of chilli depending on your spice preferences

    Nigella Seeds: I love sprinkling these on top of pretty much anything - they're pretty and add a herby, slightly oniony flavour. Switch for sesame seeds if you prefer

    White Beans: I added haricot beans but you could use any that you like

    Red Onion: Keep this raw for a bit of bite and freshness

    Mint: I love the freshness this adds to the dish but you could use pretty much any soft herb

    How to make it

    Fry the tomatoes: Put olive oil and tomatoes in a frying pan over a medium high heat with the chilli and cook until the tomatoes collapse.

    Cook the halloumi: Fry the halloumi in the rest of the olive oil until browned on all sides.

    Make the dish: Put the halloumi, tomatoes and the rest of the ingredients in a bowl and toss together.
