Halloumi and tomato rice bowl

Simple supper, a lovely pile of fragrant deliciousness. Eat it with a spoon, sitting somewhere cosy. Feeds 2.

  • 1 block halloumi, cut into 8 slices
  • Fragrant pilaf
  • Turkish dip
  • 150g green beans, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • Handful flaked almonds, toasted in a dry pan
  • 2 tbsp Greek yoghurt
  • Pinch of cumin
  • Couple of lemon wedges
  • A couple of tbsp of finely chopped fresh herbs (a combination of parsley, mint, dill or coriander)
  1. Cook the pilaf and pile it into bowls
  2. Boil salted water and cook the beans for 6-7 mins or so until tender but not soggy
  3. Drain and mix with the yoghurt, cumin, a small squeeze of lemon and a pinch of salt
  4. Fry the slices of halloumi in a dry non-stick frying pan until golden on both sides
  5. Arrange the halloumi, green beans and Turkish dip on top of the rice in a semi-artistic fashion
  6. Scatter with toasted almonds and herbs, and a squeeze of lemon on top
