Method

Your notes

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.

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.

Beth 4 weeks ago

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.

Hilary Last month
