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.

Preheat the oven to 200c and gather your ingredients.
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.
Roast the peppers for 10 minutes.
While the peppers are roasting boil the kettle and dice the onions and garlic.
While the couscous is fluffing up, fry the onions and garlic on a medium heat in a non stick pot.
When the peppers are done, remove from the oven and turn the grill onto a medium heat
Add the cooked couscous to the onions/garlic and then add turmeric, salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon the couscous into the pepper halves, filling them up.
Chop up the halloumi and add on top of the peppers.
Put the peppers under the grill for 5-10 minutes (depending on the grill), until the halloumi is browned and softened.
And you’re done! I’d recommend a splash of lemon juice and a dash of black pepper before serving.
