Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams halloumi cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 medium, sliced carrots
- 1 medium, diced zucchini
- 1 diced red bell pepper
- 1 medium, diced eggplant
- 400 grams canned tomatoes
- 500 milliliters vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Cut the halloumi cheese into 1 cm cubes.
In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the halloumi cubes and fry until golden on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the halloumi and set aside.
In the same pot, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the diced onion until translucent, approximately 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the carrots, zucchini, red bell pepper, and eggplant. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
Pour in the canned tomatoes and vegetable broth. Stir in the cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the stew to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Return the fried halloumi to the pot and gently stir to combine. Allow to heat through for about 5 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
