Method

  1. Heat the oil in a pan, then gently fry the chilli and ginger for 1 min. Stir in chickpeas, spinach and peppers, then season. Cover, then cook gently for 3-4 mins, stirring occasionally, until the spinach has wilted and the chickpeas are warmed through.

  2. Meanwhile, heat a non-stick frying pan until piping hot. Cut the halloumi into 6 slices and quickly fry for 1-2 mins each side. Stir the lemon juice into the chickpeas and divide between two plates. Top with the halloumi and serve immediately.

Really quick & tasty meal. Really useful for lockdown as all the fresh ingredients can be substituted. I used ground ginger and chilli flakes instead of fresh. Also used frozen spinach and peppers. Plus halloumi always comes with a really long use by date

Love this meal as a quick and healthy dinner. Used a whole pack of Halloumi as my husband and I LOVE it! Also used a few handfuls of frozen mixed peppers instead of buying deli ones. Which works out a cheaper meal!

Extremely tasty! I doubled everything to make it more of a main course. I put a bit more garlic in than it said because no one was working the net day and bacon.

Delicious - loved the ginger and used my own red peppers that I grilled and peeled.

This was very nice until you get half way through eating it and realise the halloumi is too salty. Maybe good as a starter or side not so much a main meal.
