Now, let's get started!

Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C (fan)/ 395°F/ Gas 6

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat

Slice the halloumi into 8 [16] slices

Once hot, add the halloumi to the pan and cook for 3-4 min or until golden all over

Step 5

While the halloumi is cooking, chop the parsley finely, including the stalks

Cut the lemon[s] in half

Tip: If you're using a toaster, heat up the pittas now!

Step 6

Once all the water has been absorbed by the couscous and sultanas, add the juice of 1/2 [1] lemon, 2 tbsp [4 tbsp] olive oil, the flaked almonds and chopped parsley to the couscous and give everything a good mix up

Cut the remaining lemon into wedges

Cut the toasted pitta bread in half and then stuff them with some seasonal salad, halloumi and spicy yoghurt
