- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 large Onion, diced
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Red bell pepper, diced
- 1 large Carrot, diced
- 1 medium Zucchini, diced
- 400 g Canned diced tomatoes
- 400 g Canned chickpeas

Instructions
Begin by preparing the dairy-free halloumi. Pat dry with a paper towel and cut into 1cm thick slices.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the halloumi slices and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In a large pot, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté for about 5 minutes until soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, red bell pepper, and carrot. Cook for an additional 3 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the diced zucchini and cook for another 2 minutes.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, chickpeas, and black beans. Mix well to combine.
Pour in the vegetable broth, and bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and add the ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.
Cover the pot and let it simmer gently for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Uncover the pot, add the crispy halloumi, and stir carefully to incorporate.
Cook for an additional 5 minutes to allow the halloumi to absorb some of the stew's flavors.
Remove from heat and let the stew sit for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve hot.
