Before you start

  • Preheat the grill to high (240C)
  • Line a baking tray with silver foil
  • Pull out a large frying pan, a small bowl & a sieve

Grill the veg

  • Dice the courgettes and peppers into 2cm chunks
  • Place both onto the foil-lined baking tray and toss with 1 tbsp oil. Season with salt and pepper
  • Grill for 10-12 mins, until golden

Make the yoghurt dressing

  • Finely chop the coriander. Halve the lemon
  • Add the sumac, yoghurt, juice from half the lemon and half the coriander to the small bowl. Add 1 tbsp water and 1 tsp oil, and mix together well. Season salt and pepper

Halloumi time

  • Cut the halloumi into 2cm cubes
  • After 10-12 mins of the veg grilling, take the tray out of the oven. Push the veg to one side of the tray and add the halloumi to the other side
  • Toss the halloumi with the honey and sesame seeds
  • Return to the oven and grill for another 5-7 mins, until the halloumi is golden

Heat the rice

  • Rinse and roughly chop the spinach
  • Heat the large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cumin and baharat, then cook for 30 secs
  • Add the spinach, cook for another 30 secs until beginning to wilt, then add the rice and break it up with a wooden spoon
  • Add a splash of water and a pinch of salt, then cook for a final 2-3 mins, until the rice is piping hot

Finish & plate up

  • Stir the roasted veg into the rice, then serve into bowls, topped with the halloumi
