Preparation
1
Get Started

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Trim the carrots, then slice into 2cm thick slices diagonally.

Halve and peel the red onion, then cut each half into 3 wedges.

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). 

Drain the halloumi, then cut it into 2cm chunks. Place them into a small bowl of cold water and leave to soak.

2
Into the Oven

Pop the carrot slices and onion wedges onto a large baking tray. 

Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, sprinkle over the cumin, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through.

Bring a medium saucepan of water to the boil with ½ tsp salt for the pearl couscous.

3
Char the Courgette

Meanwhile, halve the lemon. Trim the courgette and slice into 1cm thick rounds.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on high heat. When hot, add the courgette and cook until charred, 3-4 mins each side.

Once charred all over, lower the heat to medium, season with salt and pepper.

Stir in the garlic and fry for 1 min more, then transfer to a bowl. Cover to keep warm and set aside for later.

4
Boil the Giant Couscous

Meanwhile, when boiling, add the pearl couscous to the water, reduce the heat to medium and simmer until tender with a slight bite, 14-16 mins.

While the couscous simmers, remove the halloumi cubes from the cold water, pop them onto a plate lined with kitchen paper and pat them dry.

Heat a drizzle of oil in the (now empty) frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the halloumi and fry, turning frequently, until golden, 6-7 mins.

Once the couscous is cooked, drain in a sieve, pop back in the pan with a drizzle of oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.

5
Finishing Touches

In a large bowl, combine the harissa paste, olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for amount), half the lemon juice and half the honey (see pantry for amount).

Season with salt and pepper, then mix well. Set aside for later.

When the veg have 5 mins left, remove the tray from the oven. Drizzle with the remaining honey and toss to coat. 

Return to the oven for the remaining time until golden and sticky, 5-7 mins more.

6
Serve Up

When everything's ready, add the pearl couscous, roasted veg, charred courgette and half the rocket to the bowl of dressing. Crumble in half the Greek style salad cheese and toss together. 

Share the salad between your serving bowls and top with the remaining rocket and the halloumi.

Sprinkle over the flaked almonds and crumble over the remaining cheese and serve with the remaining lemon wedges to finish.
