Halloumi & Spiced Rice Bowls
5 lunches for £5 ~ Halloumi & Spiced Rice Bowls ❤️🔥
We love a halloumi & rice blend, so I thought I’d try and get it under a fiver for 5 servings. With the halloumi, you can fry a serving on the day of if you don’t like reheating fried halloumi. And with reheating the rice, if you’re eating this by yourself then I’d recommend frying the halloumi separately and freezing 3 of the servings to defrost and eat later in the week. Hope you love it!! xx

Instructions
Step 1
1. Start by adding half of the oil into a wide non-stick frying pan, along with the halloumi squares. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy. 2. Next, remove the halloumi from the pan and add the remaining oil. Add the spring onion (reserving some of the greener end for garnish) and kale. Season with salt and pepper and fry for around 4 minutes, then set aside. 3. Add the spices and washed rice into the pan. Fry for 1 minute to toast the spices/rice, then pour the stock into the pan. Add the pepper and stir to combine, then add a lid and cook according to the time on the packet. Mine was 10 minutes
4. Fluff the rice and add the kale/onion mix into the pan. Divide into meal prep containers, then top with the halloumi, quick pickled onions and reserved spring onion. Pop in the fridge and reheat for 2 minutes in the microwave when ready to eat! (read above if you’re cooking for 1)
