Couscous And Homemade Halloumi Stuffed Peppers

Stuffed peppers with homemade halloumi

I made my own halloumi the night before using the Big Cheese Making Kit - the result was much tastier than shop bought halloumi and is a great way to impress your guests. I couldn’t believe 4 bottles of gold top milk made so much halloumi (at least a kilogram)! I had to give a lot away but I’ll be making more batches to give as gifts now I know how to do it. These stuffed peppers are good as a starter or side if you're having Mediterranean food and only take 30 mins total.

I couldn’t believe 4 bottles of gold top milk made so much halloumi (at least a kilogram)! I had to give a lot away but I’ll be making more batches to give as gifts now I know how to do it.

Instructions

  1. Small 110461 2f2015 08 16 162100 p1010571

    Preheat the oven to 200c and gather your ingredients.

  2. Small 110461 2f2015 08 16 162035 p1010577

    Liberally coat the roasting tin with olive oil. Chop the peppers into halves, removing the core/seeds and add to the baking tin. Coat the peppers in the oil, massaging the oil into the peppers with your fingers.

  3. Roast the peppers for 10 minutes.

  4. While the peppers are roasting boil the kettle and dice the onions and garlic.

  5. Small 110461 2f2015 08 16 162520 p1010579

    While the couscous is fluffing up, fry the onions and garlic on a medium heat in a non stick pot.

  6. When the peppers are done, remove from the oven and turn the grill onto a medium heat

  7. Small 110461 2f2015 08 16 162515 p1010581

    Add the cooked couscous to the onions/garlic and then add turmeric, salt and pepper to taste.

  8. Small 110461 2f2015 08 16 162607 p1010582

    Spoon the couscous into the pepper halves, filling them up.

  9. Small 110461 2f2015 08 16 162623 p1010584

    Chop up the halloumi and add on top of the peppers.

  10. Small 110461 2f2015 08 16 162627 p1010587

    Put the peppers under the grill for 5-10 minutes (depending on the grill), until the halloumi is browned and softened.

  11. Small 110461 2f2015 08 16 162723 p1010592

    And you’re done! I’d recommend a splash of lemon juice and a dash of black pepper before serving.
