Halloumi and Vegetable Stir Fry

Husband: "What's for dinner?"Answer: "Halloumi Stir Fry"

Reaction from husband: "Oh" (disappointed)

After eating, reaction from husband: "This was really good!"

Moral: Don't be so judgy!

 

Ingredients:

8 oz (250g) halloumi, herbed or plain cut in 1" cubes

2 tbsps olive oil

3/4-1 cup kernel corn

1 cup cherry tomatoes, pierced with a knife

1/4 scotch bonnet pepper, very finely chopped

1 cup sliced zucchini, about 1/4" thick

1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup basil leaves, chopped and more to garnish

salt and pepper to taste

lemon wedges to serve 

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in saucepan to medium high. Fry cheese cubes for 2 minutes then flip for an additional 2 minutes. When two sides are golden remove to a plate.

Add 1 tbsp oil to the pan and again on medium high heat add the zucchini for 1 minutes. Then add the corn, onion, scotch bonnet, salt and pepper, stirring occasionally for 4-5 minutes. This amount of scotch bonnet gave just enough heat for us. Adjust as you like. Add tomatoes for another 3-4 minutes.

Remove the pan from the heat and toss with the cheese, chopped basil and a squeeze of lemon.
