Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 200 grams Halloumi cheese
- 1 large, chopped Onion
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 large, chopped Red bell pepper
- 1 medium, chopped Zucchini
- 400 grams, canned, drained and rinsed Chickpeas
- 400 grams, canned, drained and rinsed Kidney beans
- 400 grams Canned tomatoes
- 500 milliliters Vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Slice the halloumi cheese into thick strips. Add it to the pot and fry until each side is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove halloumi from the pot and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pot. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the chopped red bell pepper and zucchini, cooking for another 5 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the chickpeas, kidney beans, and canned tomatoes to the pot. Stir to combine.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Stir in the cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the stew has thickened and the flavors are well combined, add the grilled halloumi back into the stew.
Adjust seasoning to taste, if necessary.
Serve the stew hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
