Ingredients
Method
Gather and prepare your ingredients.
To make the beans, place the passata, sundried tomato paste, rose harissa, balsamic vinegar, cumin, and butterbeans into a wide, ovenproof saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes, until darkened and reduced. Adjust seasoning to taste.
While the beans are cooking, preheat your grill to medium-high. Arrange the halloumi slices over the beans. Place under the grill and cook for about 5-6 minutes, until golden and bubbly. Keep an eye on it during cooking as timing will depend on the strength of your grill.

Delicious, really enjoyed it
I also added onion, used chopped toms instead of passata and spinach as wanted to up the veg/fibre content. Was a perfect dish to knock up quickly and appreciate
I cooked off some onion, peppers and garlic, with nduja, then followed the remainder of the recipe and added frozen spinach too. Finished off in the air fryer. Delicious. I have some left over so I stored it in my empty butter bean jar for another dinner
I liked it but as others have suggested, more spice is helpful. I added onions, garlic and spinach. I didn't have butter beans, so I just cooked some red lentils in the sauce and that was fast and easy. I served it with baked sweet potatoes and added a bit of linseed into the sauce as well.
I added spinach and onion as others suggested. I think personally it needs more spice.
This is so good. I took notes from other commenters and added onion, peppers, and garlic and softened before adding the spices, passata and beans. I had a jar of sun-dried tomatoes and my Blendtec was on the counter so I blitzed about 5 of them with the passata. Also added some mixed greens from the organic farm for a one dish meal. Topped with a bit of feta, a dollop of Greek yogurt, and some micro greens. Yum!
Nice quick recipe but for me, the balsamic vinegar makes it too sweet and fights with the Harissa, and I only used half the amount. Next time I will leave out the balsamic. I also had a squeeze of lemon juice.
Such a wholesome recipe. I stir in some spinach before grilling and sprinkle some seeds to meet the daily BBGS quota 😄. Also, incredibly easy to put together and prepare when you have all the ingredients at hand!
Lovely quick and tasty meal. Nice level of spice. Served with some homemade guacamole and mopped up juices with hubby’s sourdough bread. Will definitely make again.
Very tasty and easy to make. I served with homemade flatbreads.
lovely hearty and simple dinner with an added side salat. Used tofu instead of halloumi and added mushrooms, courgette and frozen kale. Only used half of the harissa paste as otherwise for me it would have been too spicey. Great staple!
Another great mid-week meal. Quick and easy to prepare. I added onion, kale and peppers. Will definitely make again
Lovely healthy meal ……. Added garlic onion courgettes and spinach
I fried onion, garlic, green and red pepper for extra veg. I reduced the harissa to 4 tsp as I can't cope with too much chilli! I find the spiciness of different brands can vary significantly so I'm always careful! Stirred a large handful of coriander through and garnished with chives. Halloumi isn't my favourite but it made a pleasant change from my usual feta!
Delicious! I added broccoli and spinach to the base to add more greens. Lovely meal
Spicy and easy. I added quinoa and steamed veggies
Easy recipe, no halloumi so used some breadcrumbs & Parmesan instead.
A quick spicy dish
Delicious. Will try with mozzarella cheese next time.
Lovely quick recipe. Added extra veg to it and worked great
I started by sizzling up some finely chopped random vegs that needed using up, and then the passata and followed the rest of the recipe. I didn’t have enough halloumi so I added some grated cheese in the gaps. And crumbled feta on at the end. Served it with some pearl barley and Greek yoghurt. Fabulous, will be a staple thanks Kitchen Doctor, another banger.
Very easy and still delicious meal! I also added some chickpeas that I roasted with butter before adding to the pot, as well as serving some red quinoa and skyr on the side.
Easy and quick to make. Added sun-dried tomatoes, courgette, red pepper, mushrooms and spinach. Served with bulgar wheat.
Super simple, quick and tasty!
Loved this recipe. I swapped the harissa paste for cape Malay curry paste and it was lovely
Delicious and easy. I toasted the cumin seed for more flavour.
Excellent! I didn’t have sun-dried tomato paste but used some finely chopped jarred sun-dried tomatoes. Everyone enjoyed it.
Added roasted squash and served with freekeh, really quick and full of flavour
Super quick and easy to prepare after a busy day at work. Pairs nicely with a salad. I will make this again.
What a fantastic, tasty meal. My husband's choice word to describe it was, "exceptional"
Its such a quick and easy meal to put together. Perfect for a midweek dinner. Its now on my favourite list.
Absolutely delicious- and this is coming from a bona fide meat eater.
Had it with rice but I imagine crusty bread dipped in this sauce would be amazing
The beans are REALLY delicious and go so well with halloumi!
Everybody enjoyed it a lot!
Absolutely delicious. I used our surfeit of greenhouse tomatoes & courgettes thinly sliced.
Fast and tasty. I added frozen spinach and sourdough bread
Super easy quick lunch. I had it with a small side of pasta but a slice of crusty bread would work well too.
This was absolutely delicious. It was so quick to prep too. I added spinach and served with tender-stem broccoli. Great meal for when you’re short of time and super tasty.
We really enjoyed this with a slice of sourdough, and my husband also had a half an airfried chicken breast with it. I felt like it was missing something green, so added some frozen spinach, which went well. Very easy and quick, so will defo make it again.
Very nice. I added spinach which went very well.
