The recipe serves two and can be seen in full below. 

Ingredients

• 2 tsp peri peri seasoning
• 15g honey
• 2 tbsp olive oli
• 15 cherry tomatoes
• ½ lemon
• 250g halloumi
• 40g mixed salad leaves
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 bunch of mint
• Pinch of sugar

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Halve the pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips. Pop the pepper onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer.
   Roast on the top shelf until the peppers are soft and slightly charred, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through.
2. While the peppers are cooking, halve the cherry tomatoes, pick the mint leaves from their stalks and roughly chop (discard the stalks). Zest and halve the lemon.
3. Drain the halloumi, then cut into slices (three per person). Place them into a small bowl of cold water and leave to soak.
4. Add the lemon zest and olive oil for the dressing to a large bowl and squeeze in the lemon juice. Season with salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar. Stir to combine, then reserve a few tablespoons of dressing for serving in a small bowl. Add the tomatoes, mint & salad to the remaining dressing in the large bowl, then set aside.
5. Remove the halloumi slices from the cold water, pop them onto a plate lined with kitchen paper and pat them dry. Add the peri peri seasoning to the Halloumi, toss to coat, then set aside.
6. When five minutes of roasting time remains, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the spiced halloumi and fry until golden, 2-3 mins each side, then remove from the heat. Drizzle the fried halloumi with the honey and turn to glaze it all over.
7. When the peppers cooked, add to the large bowl of dressing and toss together with the tomatoes, mint & mixed salad.
8. Spoon your roasted veg salad into bowls, then top with the glazed halloumi slices.
