Chopped Moroccan Halloumi Salad

Chopped Moroccan Halloumi Salad

with Citrus Dressing

Whether it’s Moroccan music, Moroccan plates or even his new Moroccan rug, it’s fair to say our head chef has become quite enthusiastic about all things….Morocco. He headed there a few weeks ago for a recipe reconnaissance mission that spanned everything from the beautiful Ksar Bagh Hotel (where he learned this salad recipe) to the Berber cave dwellings of the Atlas Mountains. See his video diary on our blog!

Instructions

Season sweet potato cubes
1

Tip: After we tested this at The FreshFram, a lot of people said it was great with a boiled egg added at the end. If you have some eggs, then go for it! Heat your oven to 200 degrees. Chop the sweet potato into 1cm cubes. Toss the sweet potato and the 1cm in ½ tbsp of oil and ¼ tsp of salt. Lay on a baking tray and cook in the oven for 20-25 mins.

Chop pepper into cubes
2

Roughly chop the spinach leaves and the coriander. Tip: You can also chop spinach and coriander with scissors to save some time. Peel the carrot and chop into tiny ½cm cubes. Remove the core from the pepper and chop half into ½cm cubes and the other half into 1cm cubes. Toss the 1cm red pepper pieces in 1 tsp of olive oil and roast with the sweet potatoes for the last 10 mins.

Fry halloumi
3

Cut the halloumi into 1cm thick slices. Coat in the harissa. Heat a large pan with ½ tbsp of oil. Fry off the halloumi for 2-3 mins on each side, until golden brown.

4

Place the carrot, ½cm red pepper cubes and spinach into the bowl. Chop the fried halloumi into 20 pence sized cubes and toss this into the salad with the roasted sweet potato and red pepper.

Toss ingredients together
5

Mix 2 tbsp of olive oil and the zest and juice of ¼ of the lemon in a large mixing bowl. Add ¼ tsp of salt and a good pinch of pepper, mix together and put to the side. Tip: To get more juice from your lemon roll it firmly between the palm of your hand and the chopping board before cutting it in half, sticking a fork into it and squeezing. Take the salad to the table and drizzle over the dressing. Toss everything together really well.

Finished dish

Taste a mouthful for seasoning and add a bit more salt and pepper until it’s just right.
