So I decided this week to start experimenting with food again, as I now have the means to cook food again! I also want to start cutting bread out of my diet, as I felt I was eating too much. Being a vegetarian this means eating more protein rich foods like pulses and grains, and also more dairy. The salad I made today looked so good I thought I would take a photo and add recipes to this blog. So here is the first entry of my cooking and recipes; Halloumi with smoky butter bean and Tabbouleh salad.
Ingredients;
A Few handfulls of Salad leaves
5 Cherry Tomatos
Half a small Red Onion
1 Spring Onion
A small can of Butter Beans
Slices of Halloumi
Bulgar Wheat
Smoked Paprika
Dressing: Olive Oil, White Wine Vinegar, Garlic, S&P
Sprinkling of Chilli Flakes
Basically cut all the ingredients how you like! I sliced the onion, spring onion and chopped tomatoes in half. Then I made the dressing and let it stand. Make the bulgar wheat as per the instructions on the packet, which normally is to pour boiling water over the grains and let it stand for 20 mins.
Once all this was done, I layered the leaves on a plate and arranged the tomatoes in the leaves. I drained the bulgar wheat then added the onion and spring onion, mixed, then put on top of the salad leaves and tomatoes. I lightly fried the butter beans until soft and sprinkled smoked paprika over as they were cooking. Once done I put these over the salad and tabbouleh on the plate. Then in the same pan I lightly fried the halloumi cheese until golden brown and soft. I poured the dressing over the salad and then layered the cheese on top of all the ingredients. A sprinkle of chilli flakes and salt and pepper and your done!
