Ingredients

  • olive oil
  • 3 medium bell peppers, sliced into strips
  • 2 tsps balsamic vinegar
  • 225 g (8 oz) halloumi cheese, sliced into 6-8 slices
  • 200 g (¾ cup) tzatziki
  • 10 kalamata or green olives, halved
  • 4-6 pita pockets or flatbreads

Tomato Salad

  • 2 tbsp finely diced red onion
  • 10 cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • ½ tsp red wine vinegar
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Halloumi Seasoning

  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp mint
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp cinnamon

Instructions 

  1. Preheat the oven to 430F / 220C / 200C Fan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the peppers with a couple tablespoons of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Scatter onto a baking tray and place in the oven for 10 minutes.
  3. In the same mixing bowl, add the halloumi, the seasoning, and enough olive oil to get every piece lightly coated. Remove the pan of peppers from the oven and push them to one side to make space for the halloumi. Add the halloumi slices, then return to the oven for a further 10 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, prepare your tomato salad by adding all of the ingredients to a bowl and giving them a good mix.
  5. Warm your pita breads by placing them on a dry pan, or wrapping them in foil and placing in the oven for the last 5 minutes of cook time.
  6. Check in on the pan of peppers and halloumi. You want your peppers to be soft, melted and lightly browned around the edges and your halloumi to be a little bit crisp. You might need another 5 minutes or so.
  7. Serve! Scoop the peppers and halloumi into pita bread and top with the tomato salad, olives and tzatziki.
