Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the oven to 475°F. Wash and dry all produce.
- Core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Cut zucchini in half lengthwise, then into 1/4-inch half-moons.
- Peel, then cut half the onion into 1/8-inch slices (use whole onion for 4 servings).
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- To a parchment-lined baking sheet, add peppers, zucchini, onions, garlic and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with pepper and half the garlic salt, then toss to combine.
- Roast in the bottom of the oven for 6-9 min, until veggies are tender-crisp.
- Cut halloumi into 1/4-inch slices. Using a strainer, rinse halloumi in cold water, then pat dry with paper towels.
- Season with Moroccan Spice Blend, salt and pepper.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
- When hot, add halloumi to the dry pan. (NOTE: Don't crowd the pan. For 4 servings, cook in batches.)
- Cook for 2-3 min per side, until golden. Transfer halloumi to a plate. Cover to keep warm.
- Meanwhile, to a medium pot, add remaining garlic salt, 2/3 cup (1 1/3 cups) water and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) butter.
- Bring to a boil over high.
- Once boiling, stir in couscous. Remove the pot from heat, then cover and set couscous aside for 5 min to rehydrate.
- Meanwhile, finely chop parsley.
- Zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
- To a medium bowl, add sour cream, parsley, lemon zest, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) lemon juice and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water. Season with salt and pepper. Stir combine.
- Stir roasted veggies into couscous.
- Divide couscous between plates, then top with halloumi.
- Drizzle lemon-parsley cream over top.
- Squeeze a lemon wedge over top.
If you've opted to get halloumi, roast veggies in the bottom of the oven for 6-9 min, until veggies are tender-crisp.
Cut halloumi into 1/4-inch slices. Using a strainer, rinse halloumi in cold water, then pat dry with paper towels. Season halloumi the same way the recipe instructs you to season turkey.
When the pan is hot, add halloumi to the dry pan. (NOTE: Don't crowd the pan. For 4 servings, cook in batches) Cook for 2-3 min per side, until golden. Transfer halloumi to a plate. Cover to keep warm. No need to roast the halloumi after pan-frying.
