Ingredients












Preparation

Step 1

Cut the halloumi into ¼ inch thick slices and place on a paper towel lined plate. Place another piece of paper towel on top and place in the fridge to soak up any excess water.

Step 2

Place the Dainty Conditioned Rice in the bowl of a rice cooker. Cover with 2 ¾ cup water and cook. (or cook on stovetop using the same liquid ratio).

Step 3

Meanwhile, place the spinach, cilantro, and garlic in a blender and add in ¼ cup water. Blend until smooth and set aside.

Step 4

When the Rice is done, add in the spinach puree and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Preheat a BBQ on high. In a bowl, toss together the zucchini, olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Remove the halloumi from the fridge and drizzle with a little olive oil When the BBQ is very hot, Add the halloumi and grill until one side is nicely charred, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and set aside. Add the zucchini and cook until one side is lightly charred. Flip and repeat. Remove and set aside.

Step 6

To serve, spoon some of the green rice onto a bowl. Top with some of the grilled zucchini, halloumi, cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkling of the herbs.

 

Note from the chef

If no BBQ is available, roast the zucchini on a lined baking sheet at 475* for 25 minutes, or until nicely caramelized. The halloumi can me pan fried in a non-stick frying pan over medium high heat, until each side is lightly browned.
