Instructions
Halve, peel and finely slice the shallot. Halve the pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips. Chop the baby plum tomatoes in half. Slice the halloumi widthways into 1cm thick slices.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. When hot, add the shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, 3-4 mins. Stir in the tomato puree and bulgur wheat.
Stir the vegetable stock powder and the water for the bulgur wheat (see ingredients for amount) into the saucepan and bring to the boil. Pop a lid on the pan and remove from the heat. Leave to the side for 12-15 mins or until ready to serve.
Meanwhile, put a large frying pan on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5-6 mins. Stir in the tomatoes and cook until slightly softened, 2-3 mins
Transfer the softened peppers and tomatoes to a small bowl and wipe out the pan. Lay the halloumi slices in the pan and fry until golden, 2-3 mins each side. Return the veggies to the pan for the final minute to reheat.
Spoon the chilli jam onto the halloumi and remove the pan from the heat. The jam will melt and glaze the halloumi. Fluff up the bulgur wheat with a fork and divide between your plates. Top with the veggies and halloumi slices, drizzling over any chilli jam left in the pan. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavour: The chilli jam and halloumi combination was a hit, adding a delicious kick to the dish.
- Ease of prep: Quick and simple to make, perfect for a midweek dinner with minimal fuss.
- Suggestions: Consider adding more vegetables or swapping green peppers for red ones to enhance colour and flavour.
- Portions: Some found it light; adding extra vegetables or a side of pitta bread could make it more filling.
- Bulgur wheat: The bulgur base was divisive; try boosting its flavour with extra seasoning or lemon juice.
