- 1 tablespoon butter
- 240 g halloumi cheese
- 60 ml plain yogurt
- 1 -2 teaspoon harissa
- 200 g chickpeas
- 2 roasted red peppers (from a jar is fine)
- 50 g wild rocket

- measure 400ml boiling water into a measuring jug and crumble in the stock cube.
- Add the butter and stir until the stock cube has dissolved and the butter melted.
- Pour over the couscous, then tightly cover with cling film.
- Leave for 10 mins until all the stock has been absorbed.
- Meanwhile, heat a large griddle or non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
- Cut the halloumi into 1/2cm-thick slices.
- When the pan is really hot (a drop of water will sizzle immediately), place the halloumi slices in the pan.
- Cook for 2-3 mins until charred and lightly golden.
- Use a fish slice to turn cheese and repeat on the other side.
- Cut the slices in half.
- Tip the yogurt into a small bowl.
- Mix in the harissa, a little at a time, until you're happy with the flavour.
- Tip the chickpeas into a sieve and rinse under the cold tap.
- Drain any liquid from the peppers, scraping away any seeds and tear into chunks.
- Remove the cling film from the couscous and use a fork to fluff up the grains and break up any clumps.
- Mix in the chickpeas, peppers and rocket.
- Toss through the warm halloumi slices, then drizzle over the yogurt dressing to serve.
