1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 Onion chopped
2 cloves Garlic crushed
2 Courgettes chopped
6 Medium Tomatoes chopped
1 tablespoon Tomato Puree
1 tablespoon Turmeric
1 tablespoon Cumin
1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
1 teaspoon Chilli Flakes (adjust according to how spicy you like your food, it will still taste great without!)
Salt and Pepper
200 g Halloumi sliced
Handful Fresh Basil chopped

Start by heating the oil in a frying pan which you can also use under the grill over a medium heat. Add the onion and fry for a few minutes. Add the garlic and cook for a little longer.
Once the onion and garlic has softened add the tomatoes and courgettes followed by the tomato puree and all the spices along with a good sprinkling of salt and pepper. Cook over a medium heat for 20 minutes until everything is softened and the tomatoes have released their liquid.
Heat the grill to medium high heat. Remove the pan from the heat and place the slices of halloumi across the top of the vegetables. Place under the grill for a few minutes until the cheese has browned. Sprinkle with basil before serving.
