Instructions
Halve, peel and then thinly slice the red onion. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Remove the top and bottom from the carrot and then grate on the coarse side of you grater. Remove the pointy ends from the cucumber halve lengthways, scrape out the seeds and then chop into small chunks (1cm is ideal). Roughly chop the basil (stalks and all). Drain and rinse the lentils in a colander or sieve.
Heat a splash of olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the red onion, stir and gently cook until softened, 5 mins. Add the mustard seeds and the sugar (amount specified in the ingredients list). Cook for another minute before adding the garlic. Cook for another minute, then add the lentils. Stir to combine and then remove from the heat. We will finish the lentils when they have cooled down.
Meanwhile, slice the halloumi into six even slices (per block). Pop onto plate and sprinkle the dried oregano on both sides. Heat a splash of oil in a frying pan over high heat. Cook the halloumi slices until golden, 3 mins on each side. When golden on both sides, remove form the heat and return to the lentils.
Stir the cucumber, carrot and half the basil into the lentils. Taste and season with salt and black pepper as necessary. Add the ground coriander, a squeeze of lemon and a good glug of olive oil. Mix well and keep to one side. Mix the leftover basil with a pinch of salt, a squeeze of lemon juice and the olive oil (amount specified in the ingredients list). Basil salsa done!
Share the lentils between your plates. Dress the rocket leaves with a glug of olive oil and a squeeze of leftover lemon juice. Neatly arrange the rocket on top of the lentils and then place the halloumi slices on top. Finish with a drizzle of the basil salsa and enjoy!
