Cooking Steps

Get Started
1
  • Drain the halloumi, then cut it into 2cm chunks. Place into a small bowl of cold water. Leave to soak.
  • Boil a full kettle. Pour the boiled water into a medium saucepan on medium-high heat.
  • Add the pearl couscous. Reduce the heat to medium. Simmer, 14-15 mins. Drain in a sieve.
  • Meanwhile, halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips.
Fry Time
2
  • Remove the halloumi cubes from the cold water, pop them onto a plate lined with kitchen paper and pat them dry.
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.
  • Once hot, add the halloumi. Fry, turning frequently, until golden, 6-7 mins.
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
  • Once hot, add the beef mince and pepper. Fry, 5-6 mins.
  • Use a spoon to break up the mince as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and utensils after handling raw mince. Cook so there's no pink in the middle.
Finishing Touches
3
  • In a small bowl, combine half the green chilli paste with the Greek style yoghurt. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Once the mince is cooked, add the chermoula spice mix, tomato puree, chicken stock paste, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both). 
  • Simmer until thickened, 2-3 mins.
  • Add the spinach a handful at a time until piping hot, 1-2 mins.
Dinner's Ready!

  • Once the couscous is cooked, add it to the beef and mix. 
  • Stir through the remaining green chilli paste until combined. 
  • Add a splash of water if it looks a little dry.
  • Share the pearl couscous between serving bowls. 
  • Top with the halloumi.
  • Drizzle over green chilli yoghurt to finish.
