GRILLED HALLOUMI AND BEAN STEW

Steps:

• Heat some vegetable oil in a frying pan, once hot, add your diced onions and fry on a medium heat for 5-10 minutes or until softened.
• Once softened, drain and rinse your beans, add them into the pan along with your pesto, garlic and plum tomatoes. Use the back of a spoon to smush the plum tomatoes into the mix.
• Fill your empty can of tomatoes up with water and pour that in the pan along with your mixed herbs. Bring the mix to a boil then simmer for 20 minutes.
• Whilst your stew is simmering away, make a start on your garlic bread if using per packet instructions and slice your halloumi into 2 thin patties.
• Grill or fry your halloumi. I highly recommend using the Ninja Foodi Max to grill your halloumi, it's a great piece of kitchen kit and is how I got the grill lines on my Halloumi after just 5 minutes of grilling. You can pick one up on amazon.co.uk for only £179, well worth it. If you live in the USA you can pick one up from amazon.com for $199.99. I've also wrote an entire review that you can read here.
• Once your stew has simmered for 20 minutes, taste and season with salt and pepper, plus whatever seasonings you favour - I like a nice heaped teaspoon of paprika in mine along with a handful of black olives.
• Dish your stew into bowls and finish with your grilled halloumi and a side of garlic bread
