Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. • To a medium bowl, add couscous and vegetable stock powder. • Add the boiling water (3/4 cup for 2 people /1 1/2 cups for 4 people) and stir to combine. Immediately cover with a plate and leave for 5 minutes. • Fluff up with fork and set aside. • In a medium bowl, place haloumi and cover with water to soak.
• Drain haloumi and pat dry. Cut the haloumi into 1cm-thick slices. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook haloumi until golden brown, 1-2 minutes each side. • Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Season with salt and pepper.
• Slice lime into wedges and half trimmed green beans. • Add green beans and a splash of water to a microwave-safe bowl, then cover with a damp paper towel. • Microwave green beans on high until just tender, 2-4 minutes. Drain, then add to the bowl with the couscous. • To the bowl with couscous and green beans, add baby spinach leaves, kalamata olives, a good squeeze of lime juice and a drizzle of olive oil. • Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine.
• Divide olive couscous salad between bowls and top with haloumi. Drizzle over creamy pesto dressing. • Serve with any remaining lime wedges. Enjoy!
