Mello puts these ingredients on one shopping list with the rest of your week, and anything two recipes share is added together. The list then goes to Sainsbury's in the UK or Careem Quik in the UAE.
Add to a shopping listHow the shopping list works →- Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/Gas Mark 6).
- Step 2
Prepare the vegetables: halve the red onion and cut into wedges. Trim and chop the courgette into chunks. Deseed and chop the red bell pepper into chunks. Halve the cherry tomatoes.
- Step 3
In a large roasting tin, toss the red onion, courgette, and red bell pepper with 3 tbsp of olive oil, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Roast for 15 minutes.
- Step 4
While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the halloumi. Cut the halloumi into 2cm cubes. Mince the garlic cloves.
- Step 5
After 15 minutes, add the cherry tomatoes and minced garlic to the roasting tin with the other vegetables. Toss gently. Place the halloumi cubes amongst the vegetables.
- Step 6
Drizzle the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil over the halloumi and vegetables. Squeeze the lemon juice over everything and sprinkle with lemon zest.
- Step 7
Return the traybake to the oven and roast for another 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelised, and the halloumi is golden brown and softened.
- Step 8
Meanwhile, cook the giant couscous according to packet instructions. Typically, this involves boiling 300ml of water or vegetable stock, adding the couscous, and simmering for 10-12 minutes until tender. Drain any excess liquid.
- Step 9
Finely chop the fresh parsley.
- Step 10
Once the traybake is ready, remove from the oven. Stir the cooked giant couscous into the roasting tin with the vegetables and halloumi. Gently toss to combine.
- Step 11
Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
