Instructions

1

a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Boil a half-full kettle.

b) Halve and peel the red onion. Cut each half into 3 wedges, then separate the layers.

c) Add the onion  to a baking tray. Drizzle with oil, then season with salt and pepper. When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until soft and slightly charred, 12-15 mins.

2

a) Meanwhile, put the couscous in a large bowl. Pour in the boiled water (see pantry), stir in the vegetable stock paste, then cover tightly with cling film.

b) Leave to the side for 10 mins or until ready to serve.

3

a) Meanwhile, drain the halloumi and pat dry with kitchen paper. Cut into 2cm chunks. 

b) Pick the mint leaves from their stalks and roughly chop (discard the stalks).

c) Halve the pomegranate. Remove the seeds from the white pith by patting the outside of the pomegranate with the back of a spoon. Separate the seeds and place into a bowl. Careful - the juice stains. Discard the pith.

4

a) When the veg has 5-6 mins remaining, heat a medium frying pan on medium-high with a drizzle of oil.

b) Once hot, fry the halloumi, turning frequently, until golden, 5-6 mins.

c) Remove from the heat, then add the honey (see pantry for amount), stir to coat, 1 min.

5

a) Once the couscous is cooked, add the harissa, half the mint, half the pomegranate seeds and the roasted onion. Stir to combine.

b) In a small bowl, mix together the remaining mint and natural yoghurt.

6

a) Add the rocket to the couscous and toss to combine.

b) Share the harissa spiced couscous and rocket salad between your bowls and top with the sticky halloumi. 

c) Drizzle over the mint yoghurt and garnish with the remaining pomegranate seeds.
