Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add cubed halloumi and fry until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the halloumi from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the diced zucchini and red bell pepper to the pot. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.
Add the drained keto-friendly white beans and canned crushed tomatoes to the pot. Stir well to combine.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Stir in the ground cumin, ground coriander, and dried oregano.
Season the stew with salt and black pepper, then bring it to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Return the fried halloumi to the pot and stir gently to combine.
Taste the stew and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
