Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Trim the green tops from the Dutch carrots and scrub them clean. Cut the zucchini into 1cm chunks. Cut the red onion into 2cm wedges. TIP: Cut the veg to the correct size so they cook in the allocated time. Zest the lemon to get 1/4 tsp for 2 people / 1/2 tsp for 4 people.

Roast the veggies
2

Place the carrots, zucchini and red onion on an oven tray lined with baking paper and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. TIP: Haloumi is salty, so the veggies don't need much salt! Arrange in a single layer and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and tender.

Cook the couscous
3

While the veggies are roasting, bring the water (see ingredients list) and the crumbled vegetable stock (1/2 cube for 2 people / 1 cube for 4 people) to the boil in a medium saucepan. Add the couscous, lemon zest, Souk Market spice blend (see ingredients list) and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir to combine, cover with a lid and remove from the heat. Set aside for 5 minutes, or until the water is absorbed. Fluff up the couscous with a fork and set aside.

Make the lemon-honey dressing
4

While the couscous is cooking, combine the honey, a good drizzle of olive oil and a generous squeeze of lemon juice in a small bowl.

Cook the haloumi
5

Heat a medium frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the slivered almonds and cook, stirring occasionally for 3-4 minutes, or until golden and toasted. Transfer to a plate.

Cut the basil haloumi into 1cm slices. Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the haloumi and cook for 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Serve up
6

Divide the spiced couscous, roast veggies aand basil haloumi between plates. Drizzle with the lemon dressing and top with toasted slivered almonds.
