Halloumi

The baharat spice mix brings Middle Eastern flavours to this comforting seasonal salad, while the sweet roasted pears combine beautifully with the salty halloumi and sharp lemon dressing

No energy to cook? Toss these five ingredients together, pop them in the oven, and be richly rewarded with a delicious bake for little-to-no effort.

Halloumi is a firm favourite for meat-free barbies. Here, we’ve cooked it whole, scoring it first to let the marinade work its way right in, creating a more intense flavour

This colourful Middle Eastern-inspired traybake is topped with golden halloumi ‘croutons’ and a tahini yogurt drizzle for added flavour. Za’atar is a fragrant Middle Eastern spice blend made with sesame seeds, sumac, cumin and herbs. Other spice mixes such as ras el hanout or baharat would also work well here.

Puy lentils are a quick and easy base for meals, but also provide plenty of fibre

This summer salad uses light halloumi to keep the calories lower for midweek.

Halloumi isn't traditionally found in curries but it goes well with the spices in this dish, plus it comes in at less than 300 calories a serving!
