Summer Jumble with Halloumi and Sweet Potato

Meanwhile, boil a large pot of water with a pinch of salt. Once it comes to a gentle boil add the quinoa and cook for around 12 mins. Take a bit out to test it - it should be soft but with a hint of firmness left in the middle. Drain your quinoa completely in a fine mesh sieve (so it doesn’t fall through the holes!). Tip:If you cook quinoa in a small amount of water you need to rinse it first to improve the flavour. We’ve suggested using a big pot of water so it cooks and rinses at the same time, due to the fact that it can move around in the water. Easy!

Remove the core from the red pepper and cut it lengthways into thin slices. Now chop it widthways to make tiny squares. Cut the halloumi into thick slices (approx. 1½cm) and grate over half of the lemon zest.

Heat a splash of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan on medium heat and once hot add the chorizo. Cook your chorizo for around 4 mins until slightly crispy at the edges, then remove and keep to the side (but leave all the oil in the pan).

With the pan still on medium heat add in your halloumi slices. Cook for 2 mins on each side until they are golden and blistered, then remove and chop into little pieces.

Your sweet potato and onion should be just about cooked now, so take it out of your oven and put into a large bowl. Add your chorizo, drained quinoa, halloumi, red pepper and a few handfuls of baby spinach.

Grate in the remaining lemon zest. Chop your lemon in half and squeeze over some juice, add a drizzle of olive oil and gently toss your ingredients with your fingers. Tip:Do this just before serving your jumble and don’t toss it for more than 10 seconds (i.e. be gentle), otherwise it’ll mess up your spinach leaves.
