Inspired by Indian sag paneer, we're swapping the traditional cheese for creamy, golden chunks of halloumi and pairing it with lots of hearty spinach. Gently spiced with an aromatic blend of spices, this is a hearty, comforting meal you won't want to miss.

Preparation
1
Start prep and roast squash

  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 425˚F.
    Wash and dry all produce.
  • To a parchment-lined baking sheet, add butternut squash, half the Indian Spice Mix and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Roast in the middle of the oven for 18-22 min, stirring halfway, until golden and tender.
  • While squash roasts, to a medium pot, add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. 
  • Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.

2
Cook rice and finish prep

  • Once the water is boiling, add rice, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 12-14 min, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
  • Meanwhile, zest, then juice half the lime. Cut remaining lime into wedges.
  • Peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Roughly chop cilantro.
  • Roughly chop spinach. (TIP: Place spinach in a bowl, then snip using a pair of kitchen shears or scissors!)

3
Fry halloumi

  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high. 
  • While pan heats, cut halloumi into 1/2-inch cubes. Using a strainer, rinse halloumi in cold water, then pat dry with paper towels.
  • When pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then halloumi. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan. For 4 servings, cook in batches.) Cook for 4-6 min, stirring occasionally, until golden. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.

4
Start braise

  • In a small microwaveable bowl, melt 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter for 30 sec. Add half the cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to mix.
  • Reheat the same pan over medium. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil and onions. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often, until softened and golden.
  • Add ginger-garlic puree and remaining Indian Spice Mix. Stir to combine.

 

5
Finish braise and toast flatbreads

  • To the pan with onion mixture, add coconut milk, halloumi, stock powder and lime juice. Bring to a simmer over high. 
  • Once simmering, reduce heat to medium. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often, until sauce has thickened slightly and halloumi is tender.
  • While braise cooks, place flatbreads directly on top rack of oven. Toast for 2-4 min, until lightly crisp.
  • Add squash and spinach to halloumi braise. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until spinach wilts. 

6
Finish and serve

  • Brush cilantro butter over flatbreads and tear or cut into wedges.
  • Fluff rice with a fork. Stir in lime zest, half the crispy shallots and remaining cilantro.
  • Divide rice, halloumi braise and flatbreads between plates.
  • Sprinkle remaining crispy shallots over top.
  • Squeeze a lime wedge over top.
