Couscous Halloumi Salad

• 份量: 6 servings
• 准备时间: 15 minutes
• 总时间: 30 minutes

配料

2/3 cup Pine nuts

2 cups Pearl couscous

3 Ears of corn, husked

Olive oil

Pepper

Salt

1 Block of Halloumi cheese (cut into cubes)

3 Scallions, thinly sliced

2 Shallots

1/2 cup Basil leaves chopped

4 tbsp Lemon juice

2 tbsp Rice wine vinegar (or white wine vinegar)

步骤

Toast pine nuts in a small pan on medium heat until they get golden brown. Set aside.Meanwhile cook pearl couscous. Once cooked, add about 1 count of olive oil to keep from sticking together and set aside.

Cook corn in boiling water for about 2-3 minutes and using a knife, cut kernels into a bowl. You could use frozen corn but fresh tastes better imo.

Cut halloumi into cubes and add to a hot pan. Leave enough space between each piece so that it gets nice and crispy. Usually about 3 min per side. You can also cook halloumi on the grill but a pan works just as well.

Chop your herbs, scallions, shallots and combine with halloumi, corn, couscous and pine nuts. Add in a few tbsps of olive oil, vinegar and lemon juice. I usually do about equal parts of each but depending on how tart you want it, you can adjust accordingly. Mix in salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Enjoy as a dinner, a side or whatever you want!
