Greek Pan-Seared Halloumi & Mint Couscous

Method

1. 1Bring the water to a boil with half of the salt in a small pot, pour in the couscous, cover with a lid, remove from heat, and let sit for 5 minutes.
2. 2Slice the halloumi into 1 cm thick pieces and halve the cherry tomatoes.
3. 3Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the halloumi slices for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.
4. 4Fluff the rested couscous with a fork, then stir in the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped mint, remaining salt, and black pepper.
5. 5Divide the flavored couscous into two serving bowls and top with the warm pan-seared halloumi slices.
