    This might be one of my favourite meal prep lunches, it’s fresh, filling, salty and delicious. The halloumi is fried on the day to maximise crispiness/texture!

    This might be one of my favourite meal prep lunches, it’s fresh, filling, salty and delicious. The halloumi is fried on the day to maximise crispiness/texture!

    Ingredients

    • 225 g halloumi, sliced into small squares (£2.30)
    • 400 g couscous (£0.80)
    • 1 red pepper, thinly sliced (£0.45)
    • 1 orange pepper, thinly sliced (£0.45)
    • Handful of parsley (£0.55)
    • 10 tbsp yogurt (£0.45)

    Cupboard Essentials

    • 1 tbsp olive oil + 1 tsp per serving
    • 1 tsp cumin
    • 1 tsp paprika, smoked if possible
    • 1 tsp chilli powder
    • 800 ml stock of choice, I chose beef

    Method

    • Start by adding the peppers into your airfryer. Coat with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Set the temperature to 180°C and the timer set to 20 minutes.
    • Next, add your stock of choice to a heat proof bowl along with the spices. Whisk to combine and add the couscous into the bowl.
    • Stir and cover. Leave for 10 minutes (or to the time that your packet suggests).
    • Add an individual servings of couscous to meal prep containers along with the roasted peppers and uncooked halloumi chunks. Seal and store in the fridge.

    When it’s time to eat

    • Fry the halloumi chunks in 1 tsp of olive oil until golden brown. Optionally add a dusting of paprika when frying.
    • Top your meal prep bowls with the spiced halloumi, a dollop of yogurt and a sprinkle of parsley. Add chilli flakes if you like things hot.
