3 medium beetroot, peeled, thickly sliced
2 x 225g packets haloumi, sliced
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon ground cumin
1 cup couscous
1 cup boiling water
400g can lentils, drained, rinsed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves,

½ cup caramelised onion
¼ cup red wine vinegar

layer, on remaining tray. Drizzle beetroot

and haloumi with 2 tablespoons of the oil.

separate grains. Add lentils and mint to

couscous. Season with salt and pepper.

Toss to combine. Cover to keep warm.

pan over medium heat. Add caramelised

onion. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or

until heated through. Add vinegar. Cook,

stirring, for a further 2 minutes or until

combined (see note). Layer rocket,
