Sweet & Spicy Seared Halloumi

with Garlic Spinach Rice & Almonds

5 min
Difficulty: 1/3

The star of this 15-minute Mediterranean bowl is the halloumi grilling cheese—golden and crispy outside with all the melty goodness kept inside! You'll sear it to a crisp finish and set it over herby garlic rice with wilted spinach. Drizzle with a vibrant cilantro–red pepper jam sauce with mandarin orange brightness, then shower with almonds for crunchy contrast.

  • Wash and dry produce.

  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add grilling cheese and cook until browned, 1-2 minutes per side.

  • To a large microwave-safe bowl, add rice, spinach, and garlic herb butter. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until rice is warmed through and spinach is wilted, 3-4 minutes.

  • Fluff rice with a fork; stir in half the almonds. Stir to combine; season with salt and pepper.
