Halloumi with lemony lentils, chickpeas & beets

Add another fresh green element, probably bell peppers. I added red pepper flakes and jalapeño spiced pepitas for crunch. Another crunchy element like a few plain chips would be great. Otherwise it’s really good, pretty simple and filling.

Will use shallots next time instead of red onion (found the red onion a bit overpowering). And I feel like it needs something green like parsley for color.

Could do with maybe 150g of the lentils instead. A bit too much washing though.

This was absolutely delish, quick, and easy to make (I used canned brown lentils, just rinsed well, didn't heat). Textures were great. We added some airfried sweet potato and didn't have capers, but may try subbing capers for green olives next time. This will become a regular meal prep recipe for me.

Nice weekday meal, I don't bother tossing the halloumi in the lemon zest

Very adaptable and yummy recipe. Subbed preserved lemons for fresh and used spring onions mixed into the ingredients in place of regular onions. Heated a tin of green lentils and added a pack of microwave rice mixed through plus a splash o red wine vinegar, some tomato puree, cinammon and dill in place of parsley. Instant and nutritious dinner with minimal effort.

Added 140g rice Used tin of green lentils which I heated on the hob along with the rinsed chickpeas for 3-4 mins then drained. Then added these with the rice and halloumi at the end to make it a hot dish. Prefer pickled beetroot with it too.
