Method

1

Gather and prepare your ingredients.

2

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.

3

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.
