Halloumi Cheese
200 g
Baby Tomatoes
113 g
Farro
0.5 cup
Parsley
7 g
Red Wine Vinegar
1 tbsp
Baby Spinach
56 g
Shallot
50 g
Oil
2.5 tbsp
Salt and Pepper
0.25 tsp
Mixed Olives
30 g
Fig Jam
2 tbsp
Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Add the farro and 3 cups water (dbl for 4 ppl) to a medium pot. Cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Cook, uncovered, until farro is tender, 14-16 min. When farro is done, strain, rinse with cold water and set aside.
While the farro cooks, halve the tomatoes. Roughly chop the parsley. Peel, then mince the shallot. Roughly chop the olives. Roughly chop the spinach. Cut the halloumi into 1/4-inch thick slices, rinse, then pat dry with paper towels.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil, then halloumi slices. Cook, until golden-brown, 1-2 min per side. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan; cook halloumi in 2 batches for 4 ppl, using 1/2 tbsp oil for each batch!) Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
Whisk together the shallots, fig jam, vinegar, 1 tbsp water and 1 tbsp oil (dbl both for 4 ppl) in a large bowl.
Add the farro, tomatoes, spinach, and parsley to the large bowl with the dressing. Toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
Divide Greek grain salad between plates and top with golden halloumi. Sprinkle with the chopped olives.
