Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons of harissa paste
- 3 tablespoons of clear honey with seasoning
- 400g tin of chickpeas
- 200g cherry tomatoes, halved
- 225g block of halloumi*
Step by step
-
Preheat the oven to 220°C, fan 200°C, gas 7, or an air fryer to 200°C. Combine the harissa paste and clear honey with seasoning. Rinse and drain a tin of chickpeas then add to a baking dish with the cherry tomatoes. Stir in most of the honey-harissa mixture. Unwrap a block of halloumi* and make 7 cuts into the cheese, making sure it still holds together. Add to the baking dish and drizzle on the rest of the honey-harissa, gently encouraging it into the cuts. Bake for 20 minutes (or about 15 minutes in the air fryer). Serve with crusty bread and salad.
*Use vegetarian cheese, if required.
