Ingredients
- 1½ tbsp olive oil
- 1 red onion, cut into slim wedges
- 1 red pepper, diced
- 3 baby aubergines (or ½ regular aubergine), cut into small chunks
- 2 tsp chipotle paste
- 1 x 215g tin chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1 x 400g tin chopped tomatoes
- 1 tsp clear honey
- ½ x 225g pack lighter halloumi, thinly sliced
- coriander, to serve
- 2 wholemeal pittas*
Step by step
- Preheat the grill to high. Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the red onion, pepper and aubergine for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned.
- Stir through the chipotle paste and fry for a further minute, stirring. Tip in the chickpeas, tinned tomatoes and honey. Fill the empty tomato tin one-third full with water and stir this into the pan. Bring to the boil and bubble for 5 minutes until thickened. Season to taste and transfer to an ovenproof dish.
-
Top with the halloumi slices and place under the grill for 5-7 minutes or until the halloumi is golden brown. Warm the pitta according to pack instructions. Scatter the halloumi bake with coriander and serve with the pitta.
*Serve with gluten-free pitta, if required
