Cooking Instructions
- Coarsely grate the carrot and half the block of halloumi. Add the chickpea flour to a large mixing bowl, pour in 100ml water (50ml for 1 person) and mix well. Add the grated halloumi, carrot, cumin and cornflour. Season well with sea salt, then mix everything together. Form the mixture into 4 fritters (2 fritters for 1 person).
- Heat a large frying pan (we recommend using a 25cm HexClad Hybrid Pan) with 1/2 tsp oil on medium heat. Add the fritters to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Make the salad; thinly slice the garlic. Drain and rinse the lentils. Trim the broccoli and cut into thirds. Heat a large frying pan with 1/2 tsp oil on medium heat. Add the broccoli, garlic, kale and a splash of water. Cook for 3-5 mins until the veg has softened. Add the raisins and lentils, then cook for a final minute until warmed. Add a squeeze of lemon juice (to taste) and season with sea salt and black pepper.
- Meanwhile, make the tahini dressing; add the tahini to a small bowl, along with half the lemon juice and 2 tbsp water (1 tbsp for 1 person). Mix well, then season with sea salt and black pepper (to taste).
- Serve the fritters alongside the lentil and kale salad. Drizzle over the tahini dressing.
