Quick Summary

A vibrant, low-carb vegetarian masterpiece. We pair protein-rich halloumi with charred zucchini, finished with a bright lemon-herb vinaigrette.

Ingredients

250g Halloumi cheese, sliced
3 medium zucchinis, sliced diagonally
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup fresh mint, torn
1 tbsp toasted pine nuts
Sea salt and cracked black pepper

The Method

1. Toss zucchini slices in olive oil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Roast at 200°C (400°F) until golden and tender.
2. Heat a heavy-bottomed grill pan over medium-high flame until it sings.
3. Sear halloumi for 2 minutes per side until deep, excellent char lines appear. Assemble immediately with the roasted greens.

Stewart's Secret

For the ultimate texture, pat your halloumi dry with a paper towel before it touches the heat. Moisture is the enemy of a perfect sear!
