Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper
  • Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a sieve, a grater, a large frying pan & a small bowl

Prep the veg

  • Roughly chop the pepper into 3cm chunks. Cut the onion into 8 wedges. Thinly slice the courgette into 1/2cm half-moons
  • Add the prepped veg to the lined baking tray and toss with 1 tsp oil, half the sumac and salt and pepper
  • Roast for 15-18 mins

Cook the quinoa

  • Add the quinoa and boil for 13-14 mins, until cooked. Drain, then return to the saucepan

Make the mint yoghurt

  • Pick the mint leaves from the stalks and finely chop. Finely grate the garlic
  • In the small bowl, combine the yoghurt, garlic and half the mint. Season generously with salt and pepper

Fry the halloumi

  • Heat the large frying pan with 2 tsp oil on high heat. Once hot, add the halloumi and cook for 3-4 mins each side, until golden brown
