Elevate your dinner table with a chic Quinoa and halloumi salad dressed in spicy coriander dressing, created by Lemnos and Taste.
Ingredients:
  • 1 large kumara (orange sweet potato), peeled, halved lengthways, thickly sliced
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1/2 tsp ground coriander
  • 500ml vegetable stock
  • 200g quinoa
  • 250.00 ml coriander leaves
  • 1 long red chilli, seeded, finely chopped
  • 42.00 gm lemon juice
  • 250.00 ml mint leaves
  • 180g Haloumi, thickly sliced crossways
  • Lemon zest, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 200°C and line a baking tray with baking paper. In a large bowl, mix the kumara, onion, cumin, ground coriander, and 1 tablespoon of oil. Season with salt and pepper. Spread everything out in a single layer on the lined tray. Roast for 20 minutes, flipping the vegetables occasionally, until they are golden brown and just tender. Let them cool slightly before serving.
  • In a large saucepan over high heat, bring the stock and quinoa to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer covered for 10 minutes until tender. Remove from heat and set aside covered for another 10 minutes.
  • Finely chop 1/4 cup of coriander and combine in a screw-top jar with the chili, lemon juice, and half of the remaining oil. Shake vigorously until fully mixed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • In a large frying pan over high heat, sizzle the haloumi slices in the remaining oil until each side is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Plate and serve.
  • Mix the kumara mixture, quinoa, mint, and a portion of the coriander in a sizable bowl. Present on a serving platter, top with haloumi, and drizzle with coriander dressing. Serve right away, garnished with lemon zest.
