30 Minute Halloumi Curry

Anna Chwistek
Golden seared halloumi cheese is surprisingly tasty when simmered in a hearty coconut curry. If you want to try new flavor combinations, or just love halloumi, you’ll definitely need to try this one!

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 block (8.8 oz/250 g) halloumi cheese
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced into strips
  • 1 small yellow onion finely chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves grated
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • ½ tsp chili flakes less or more to taste
  • 2 tbsp Thai curry paste
  • 2 tbsp double concentrated tomato paste
  • 1 can (14 oz/400 g) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 can (14 oz/400 g) chickpeas drained
  • 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 can (14 oz/400 g) full fat coconut milk

Instructions
 

  • Get your prep done before you start cooking. Deseed and slice the bell pepper into thin strips. Cut halloumi into bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the onion, grate the ginger and garlic cloves. Chop the cilantro.
  • In a skillet or pan, heat oil over medium. Add halloumi and sear until golden all over, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from skillet.
  • Add bell pepper and cook for about 5 minutes, or until it starts to soften. Add onion, garlic and ginger. Cook for 2 minutes. Stir in chili flakes, tomato paste and red curry paste. Add crushed tomatoes, chickpeas and soy sauce. Pour in coconut milk and bring to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  • You can now cook your rice according the package instructions, if using.
  • Stir in the halloumi and simmer for 1 minute to warm through. Serve over rice, garnished with cilantro. Pair with a cucumber salad. Enjoy!
