Cooking Steps
a) Drain the halloumi, then cut it into 2cm chunks. Place them into a small bowl of cold water and leave to soak.
b) Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.
c) Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips.
a) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium heat.
b) Once hot, add the onion and sliced pepper, season with salt and pepper and fry, stirring occasionally, until golden, 10-12 mins.
c) Add the chermoula spice mix (add less if you'd prefer things milder) and sugar (see pantry for amount). Cook until caramelised, 1-2 mins more.
a) Meanwhile, pour the water for the bulgur (see pantry for amount) into a large saucepan, stir in the veg stock paste and bring to the boil.
b) Stir in the bulgur, bring back up to the boil and simmer for 1 min.
c) Pop a lid on the pan and remove from the heat. Leave to the side for 12-15 mins or until ready to serve.
a) When the veg is caramelised, transfer to a bowl and cover with a lid or foil to keep warm.
b) Give the frying pan a quick wipe clean.
c) Remove the halloumi cubes from the cold water, pop them onto a plate lined with kitchen paper and pat them dry.
d) Return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the halloumi and fry, turning frequently, until golden, 6-7 mins.
a) When the halloumi is cooked, add the red pepper chilli jelly and stir to glaze the halloumi.
b) Add the caramelised pepper and onions, harissa paste and butter (see pantry for amount) to the bulgur and toss together.
c) Season with salt and pepper.
a) Share the bulgur and veg between your serving bowls.
b) Top with the rocket on one side and the glazed halloumi on the other. Spoon over any remaining glaze from the pan.
c) Finish by drizzling over the soured cream.
Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The combination of harissa, chermoula, caramelised peppers, and glazed halloumi delivers bold, warming flavours that many find restaurant-quality. The soured cream balances the spice well, and the chilli jelly glaze on the halloumi is a highlight for many.
- Ease of prep: Most find this quick and straightforward to put together, though a few note that timing everything at once takes a little focus.
- Suggestions: Use half the harissa paste and go easy on the chermoula spice mix if you prefer a milder dish, as several cooks found the full amounts quite intense. Some also suggest reducing the butter in the bulgur to keep the dish from feeling too rich, and consider adding extra veg such as sweetcorn, sugar snap peas, or spinach for more variety.
- Next-day meals: Leftovers reheat well the following day, making this a great option for a quick lunch.
- Halloumi tips: Frying the halloumi in the pan with the remaining bulgur and vegetable residue adds extra flavour; some also found grilling rather than frying gave a better result.
