Method

  • step 1

    Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a medium saucepan. Cook the onion and pepper for a few mins, then add the quinoa and cook for a further 3 mins. Add the stock, cover and turn the heat down to a simmer. Cook for 15 mins or until soft, then stir through half the parsley. Heat the grill.

  • step 2

    Meanwhile, mix the lemon zest and juice with the remaining parsley and oil, and a large pinch of sugar and salt. Grill the halloumi until both sides are golden and crisp. Serve the salad with the grilled halloumi and the dressing poured over everything.

Lovely recipe. I used it as a base for a roasted chicken thigh instead of halloumi and added feta and avocado.

A tasty dish. I added lots of other vegetables too.

A really good change for a quick lunch. If I don’t have a roast pepper I add mushrooms instead. Plenty for 2 of us to have a hot lunch one day and cold salad the next.

I know this recipe as it is my go to delicious 'lazy' meal. So simple, delicious and tasty. I'm quite loose with the quantity and very rarely add the parsley, sugar and lemon as I don't always have them on stock- it tastes deliciously perfect with or without them.
