Description
If you are searching for a delightful, protein-packed dish that sings with vibrant flavors, then Halloumi with Lemony Lentils, Chickpeas, and Beets is destined to become your go-to recipe.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 oz halloumi cheese, sliced
- ½ cup cooked lentils
- ½ cup canned chickpeas, rinsed
- ½ cup diced roasted beetroot
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Start by taking a medium-sized bowl and combining your key base ingredients: lentils, chickpeas, and beets. Drizzle in a tablespoon of olive oil and a teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to your liking, and gently toss everything to ensure that each component is evenly coated and flavored.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat to get it nice and hot. When you’re ready, arrange the halloumi slices onto the hot surface. Allow them to grill until they develop a golden-brown crust on both sides, which typically takes about 2–3 minutes per side.
- Now it’s time to put it all together! Begin by plating the seasoned lentil mixture onto your serving dishes. Carefully place the grilled halloumi slices on top of each lentil mound.
Notes
If halloumi is unavailable, you can substitute with paneer or firm tofu for a similar texture.
