Nectarine, Basil & Prosciutto Salad with Chilli Fennel Halloumi

Sweet, juicy nectarines work so well with crispy prosciutto shards which add texture and a hit of saltiness. When nectarines aren’t in season, tinned peaches work really well too. Air frying some halloumi cubes and then drizzling them with some honey, fennel seeds and chilli for the last few minutes of cooking means they are lovely and crispy but still soft in the middle and totally moreish. I could eat just a bowl of these on their own. With a basil, lemon and mustard dressing for the salad leaves and some toasted seeds for nuttiness, this is a delicious salad which delivers on every level.

Greek Lamb Bolognese with Dried Mint and Grated Halloumi

Lighter and fresher than a typical bolognese, this greek version using lamb mince, chicken stock, dried mint and grated halloumi is full of flavour and comfort without the heaviness of a traditional rich ragu. Cooking the dried pasta in chicken stock with the mince always ensure it soaks up all those lovely flavours.

Courgette, Herb & Halloumi Fritters with Tzatziki, Pistachio, & Pomegranate

If you need a little bit of inspiration for a meat free meal, why not give these courgette and halloumi fritters a go. Everyone loves a fritter, and with salty halloumi, warming spices, plenty of fresh herbs, lemon and garlic, these are really tasty and quick to whip up. Feta would also work really well. Some cooling mint tzatziki, fruity pomegranates and nutty toasted pistachios add more texture and flavour. These will become a staple in your house as they have in ours. They would also be a great addition to any big mezze spread.

Paprika Honey Halloumi with Chickpea, Red Onion and Spinach Bulgur Wheat

This is a tasty meatfree meal which has saved me on many occasions. It’s such an adaptable recipe and is a great way to clear out whatever you’ve got lying around in your fridge/cupboards. You could really add whatever you like but this is my go-to version. It includes a spoonful of my homemade sun-dried tomato sunflower seed pesto which I will share with you soon in another recipe, however you could also use a tbsp of the shop bought version if you’re short on time. This is nutritious, healthy, delicious, full of flavour and ideal for leftover lunches. If you double up the recipe it can easily last you throughout the week.
