Instructions

Bring 250ml of water to the boil and grate the zest of half your lemon. Pour the bulgur wheat into the boiling water and add the zest and ¼ tsp of salt. Place a lid on the pot and rest off the heat for 25 mins, or until the water has completely soaked into the wheat.

Peel and finely chop half your onion and roughly chop the parsley. Cut the tomatoes in half and squeeze out the liquidy centre (discard this) and roughly chop the flesh.

Whack the back of the pomegranate with a spoon

Cut the pomegranate in half widthways. Hold half in one hand and whack the back of it with a wooden spoon to pop the seeds out. Tip: We recommend you don’t wear a white top while you do this...

Mix the yoghurt with 1 tbsp of lemon juice and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Once ready add 1 tbsp of olive oil and 1 tbsp of lemon juice to the bulgur wheat. Mix in the onion, tomato and two-thirds of the parsley.

Slice the halloumi widthways into ½cm slices.

Coat the halloumi with the harissa. Heat a frying pan on medium-high heat and add 2 tsp of olive oil. Once hot add the halloumi slices and cook until just golden on each side, then remove. Tip: Don’t overcook the halloumi, it’s so much better when it’s golden but slightly squidgy.

Serve the halloumi with the bulgur wheat salad and sprinkle the pomegranate seeds over the top with the remaining parsley. Drizzle with the yoghurt and fill your boots!
