Halloumi Flatbreads Food

LOADED HALLOUMI FLATBREADS

Steps:

• Make the crunchy salad: mix all the ingredients together in a bowl.
• Make the dressing: heat the oil in a small frying pan (skillet) over a low heat. Add the chile and ginger and cook for 2 minutes, then stir in the seeds. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Put the yogurt in a clean bowl and stir in the chile, ginger and seed mixture. Season to taste. Gently toss the salad in the dressing.
• Dry-fry the halloumi in a non-stick frying pan (skillet) over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes each side until golden brown and crispy on the outside and softened inside. Remove and drain on kitchen paper (paper towels).
• Warm the flatbreads on a griddle pan or in a low oven and spread them with the hummus. Top with the halloumi and crunchy salad, and dot with harissa. Serve immediately.

SQUASH & HALLOUMI FLATBREADS WITH SWEET CHILLI BEETROOT JAM

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Prepare the squash by halving it, scooping out the seeds, then cutting into 1cm-thick slices. Put in a large bowl with the olive oil, smoked paprika and a pinch of salt. Toss well to coat the squash, then lay on a baking tray and bake at 180C/160C fan/gas 4 for about 40 mins until soft and starting to brown on the surface.
• For the chilli jam, grate the beetroot (wear gloves to prevent staining your hands) and put in a saucepan with the sugar, vinegar, chilli flakes, cumin seeds and salt to taste. Cook for a few minutes over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• To make the flatbreads, tip the flour into a bowl and add 150g yogurt, or up to 200g if the dough looks too dry, then mix using a cutlery knife until it comes together into a ball. Tip the dough onto a work surface and knead for 2 mins until smooth. Split into four balls, then dust the work surface with flour and roll each into a large flatbread (or make eight mini ones). Dry-fry the flatbreads in a frying pan on medium heat for a couple of minutes on each side.
• Just before serving, cut the halloumi into 8 thin slices. Cook in a frying pan for a couple of minutes on each side. Layer the spinach, squash and halloumi on the flatbreads, then drizzle with the beetroot chilli jam to serve.
