Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

8 ounces couscous

1 1/4 cups hot vegetable stock

5 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 garlic clove -- finely chopped

2 red bell peppers -- seeded

cut each into 6 pieces

1 skinny eggplant -- cut into chunks

9 ounces halloumi cheese -- sliced

into 8-pieces (see tip)

2 tablespoons toasted flaked almonds

1 tablespoon pesto sauce

 

1. Soak couscous in bowl with hot vegetable stock.

 

2. Grill vegetables: mix together the oil, lemon and garlic then brush a little

over the peppers and eggplant. Spread the vegetables on the barbecue or grill

and cook for 2 to 3 minutes each size until softened and slightly charred.

 

3. Grill cheese: brush the halloumi with some of the lemon and garlic oil

(reserve some) and cook on the barbecue or under a hot grill for a minute or so

on each side until golden.

 

4. Assemble: when the couscous has absorbed all the water, fluff it up with a

fork. spoon couscous onto a serving plate and scatter over the vegetables and

cheese and toasted almonds. Mix the pesto into the remaining oil mixture and

drizzle over the vegetables and cheese.

 

TIP - The cheese resembles a brick with round corners. Slice crosswise. Spray

the knife with cooking oil to aid slicing.
