What a simple dish and no better way to showcase how simple ingredients can be put together to make a healthy and refreshing dish.

Ingredients- 1 tin of chickpeas, drained and washed. 1/2 small red onion diced, 1/2 cucumber, 1 large tomato, pinch of cayenne pepper, salt & pepper, juice of 1/2 lemon, 1 pack of halloumi, 2 tsp of coconut oil, 1 tbsp of shop bought tikka masala paste & a handful of mint leaves ( taken from the garden).

Method – finely chop the red onion. Roughly chop the cucumber & tomato scraping everything into a bowl. Sprinkle with a pinch of cayenne pepper, salt & pepper. Squeeze in the lemon juice and stir well.

Cut the halloumi into bit size pieces. Quickly heat the coconut oil in the microwave. Add the coconut oil to a bowl along with the tikka paste and stir in the halloumi followed by the drained chickpeas ensuring everything is coated.

Heat a large pan over a high heat. Tip in the halloumi & chickpea mixture. Fry this for 5 minutes turning the halloumi as you do to ensure it crusts in the pan on all sides until it’s nice and golden.

Once you’re happy with the crust on the halloumi & the chickpeas are cooked empty this mixture back into the red onion & cucumber mixture, stir well then served with mint leaves.
