A couple turns of the black pepper mill
1) First of all, slice up your halloumi and pop in a bowl with the olive oil, harissa and sumac - set aside
2) Then boil the kettle, prepare your stock and pop the cous cous in a shallow dish cover with the boiling stock until 1 cm above the cous cous - cover tightly and set aside
3) Now in a pan on the hob pop in some oil (any oil you like) bring to a medium heat and add in your onions - soften for 2 mins
4) Now throw in your diced pepper - cook down for about 5 mins
5) Now add in your garlic and cook for a further 2 mins - careful not to burn the garlic
6) Now add in your mixed grains, chopped olives and the tomato paste and combine well - add some water if it's a bit thick
7) Fluff up your cous cous with the back of a fork and add to the pan along with the 7 spice - lower the heat right down and move on to the halloumi
8) Get a griddle pan to a medium high heat and pop the halloumi gently in the pan - do not try and move them once they are in the pan or else it'll stick
9) Whilst they are cooking away move on to your yogurt - combine the yogurt, shredded basil and lemon juice in a container and shake baby
10) Flip the halloumi after 2-3 mins on 1 side and then continue to cook on the other side for another 2-3 mins
11) Remove from the pan and pop on a plate until you've served up the cous cous mix
12) Add in a handful of shredded coriander, if using, along with the black pepper then serve with the halloumi rested on top, drizzled in the dressing!
