i’m feeling... smug
PAN-FRIED HALLOUMI WITH BABY KALE,
HERITAGE TOMATOES AND HERBS
Feeling fresh as a daisy, full of self love, and can’t stand the thought of
shovelling greasy food in your precious gob? Start the day with this plate
of nourishing greens – with a little bit of extra colour thrown in. (Just
remember: you don’t have to photograph your meal before eating.)
INGREDIENTS
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
100g halloumi, cut into thick slices
1 small clove garlic, peeled and sliced
3 spring onions, finely sliced
3 handfuls baby kale, washed and squeezed dry
1 cup small tomatoes
a handful of fresh herbs, roughly chopped
(mint, coriander and basil are all good)
HOW TO
Heat the oil in a large, heavy frying pan. Add the halloumi and cook on both
sides, until golden (about two minutes each side).
Remove from the pan and set aside. Add the garlic, spring onions and kale
to the pan and stir-fry for two minutes, then add the tomatoes and cook for
another three minutes.
Return the halloumi to the pan to heat through, then tumble everything
out onto a waiting plate. (Feel free to arrange it artfully if you’re feeling
especially smug.) Scatter over the herbs and serve immediately.
Makes a generous breakfast for one very hungry person.
good morning, sunshine
