Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 200°C.Pop the pepper onto a baking tray. Halve the pepper and discard the core and seeds. Chop into 2 cm chunks. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper then toss to coat. Roast on the top shelf of your oven until soft and slightly charred, 15-18 mins. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

2

Drain and rinse the butter beans in a sieve. Transfer a third to a bowl and crush with a fork (we will use these later to thicken the bean stew). Trim the. Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all). Drain the halloumi then cut it into 3 slices per person. Place them into a small bowl of cold water and leave to soak.

3

Heat a splash of oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in half of the garlic and harissa paste, cook for 1 minute, then add the finely chopped tomatoes and water (see ingredients for amount). Bring to a simmer, then leave to bubble away for 5 mins. Then add the whole and crushed beans to the stew. Cook until the stew is nice and thick, 5-6 mins more.

4

In a small bowl, mix the remaining garlic and half of the parsley with the olive oil (see ingredients for amount). Cut the ciabatta in half (as though making a sandwich) and then into triangles, smear the herby garlic oil over the cut side.

5

When the peppers are roasted, stir into the stew, along with the remaining parsley, season with salt and pepper. Pop the ciabatta on the baking tray used for the pepper, bake on the top shelf of your oven until golden and crispy, 5-6 mins. Remove the halloumi slices from the cold water, pop them onto a plate lined with kitchen paper and pat them dry.

6

Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the halloumi and fry until golden, 2-3 mins each side. Spoon the bean stew into bowls. Carefully arrange the halloumi slices on top and serve the garlic bread on the side. Enjoy!
