Loaded Halloumi Flatbreads Food

HALLOUMI FLATBREADS

Steps:

• Toast the pumpkin seeds with the cumin seeds in a large frying pan until they begin to pop and smell fragrant, then transfer to a large bowl. Add the cabbage, peppers and vinegar, and season well. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
• Heat oven to low and put the bread in to warm through. Using the pan you used to toast the seeds, fry the halloumi with the olive oil in batches for 3 mins each side until crispy and golden. Transfer to the oven to keep warm.
• Spread a layer of hummus on each flatbread and top with a handful of slaw, halloumi and rocket to serve.

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.
