Serves: 4

Calories per serving: 332

Prep time: 5 minutes

Cooking time: 30 minutes


Ingredients

  • 1tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 brown onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2cm (½ inch) knob ginger, finely chopped
  • 3 tsp curry powder
  • 140g (5oz) dry red lentils
  • 250g (9oz) halloumi cheese, diced into 2cm cubes
  • 1 lemon, juiced (optional)

Method

  1. Fry the halloumi  in ½ tbsp of oil until golden in places then set aside on another plate to add later.
  2. Sweat the onion in the remaining oil over a moderate heat.
  3. Add the garlic, ginger and curry powder, fry for a minute or two before stirring in the lentils. Then, pour in enough water to cover 2-3 cm (½-1 inch) above the lentils.
  4. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and allow to bubble gently for 15-20 minutes until soft and thickening.
  5. Serve up one portion now topped with a quarter of the halloumi and lemon juice, and store the remaining three portions for later.

Leftover tip: Will last in the fridge for up to 3 days – and often tastes even better the next day! Reheat when ready to serve.

Notes:

  • As an alternative to halloumi, you could use cashew nuts, paneer or diced chicken
  • Serve with a crunchy green salad or steamed green vegetables – click here for suggestions.
