Tantalizing beetroot and haloumi salad.
Ingredients:
  • 3 medium beetroot, peeled, thickly sliced
  • 2 x 225g packets haloumi, sliced
  • 56.88 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 1.25 gm ground cumin
  • 250.00 ml couscous
  • 250.00 gm boiling water
  • 400g can lentils, drained, rinsed
  • 40.00 ml chopped fresh mint leaves
  • 125.00 ml caramelised onion
  • 62.50 ml red wine vinegar
  • 1 large bunch rocket (see notes)
  • 82.50 ml skinless hazelnuts, toasted, roughly chopped
  • Fresh mint leaves, to serve
Instructions:
  • - Preheat your oven to 200C/180C fan-forced and line 2 large baking trays with baking paper. - Arrange the beetroot slices in a single layer on one tray and do the same with the haloumi on the other tray. - Drizzle 2 tablespoons of oil over the beetroot and haloumi. - Sprinkle the cumin over the beetroot. - Roast everything for 25 minutes, making sure to turn the beetroot and haloumi halfway through, until the haloumi is golden and the beetroot is just tender.
  • Place couscous in a heatproof bowl and pour in boiling water. Cover and let it sit for 5 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff the couscous with a fork to separate the grains, then add lentils and mint. Season with salt and pepper, toss to combine, and cover to keep warm.
  • In a small frying pan over medium heat, warm up the rest of the oil. Add the caramelized onion and cook for 2 minutes until heated through, stirring occasionally. Then, add the vinegar and cook for an additional 2 minutes until well combined. Layer rocket, couscous mixture, beetroot, and haloumi in serving bowls. Drizzle with onion dressing, sprinkle with hazelnuts and extra mint leaves, then serve.
