Melty Vegetable & Halloumi Stew
This vegetable stew is inspired by Sicilian cooking, where they like to use sweet sultanas and sharp capers to achieve a sweet and sour base flavour. We've added salty halloumi, because we love the way it softens and starts to melt into the stew.

Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 portion recipe.
Boil a kettle
Peel and chop the red onion[s] roughly
Deseed the yellow pepper[s] (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon) and chop into bite-sized pieces
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with 2 tbsp [4 tbsp] vegetable oil over a medium heat
Once hot, add the onion and pepper
Cook for 10 min or until they have softened but not coloured
Tip: reduce the heat if they are colouring too quickly
Meanwhile, peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic
Top and tail the courgette[s] and cut into bite-sized pieces
Chop the sultanas roughly
Add the bulgur to a pot with plenty of salted boiled water (the same as you would for pasta) and cook over a high heat for 10-15 min or until tender with a slight bite, then drain and return to the pot
Add the tomato paste, courgette, sultanas, garlic, capers, red wine vinegar and a generous few grinds of pepper to the pan
Cook for 2 min, then add 300ml [600ml] boiled water
Cover with a lid and cook for 5 min further
Meanwhile, cut the halloumi into bite-sized pieces
Add the halloumi to the pan, cover and cook for a further 4-6 min or until the halloumi has started to melt into the stew
Serve the stew with the bulgur and drizzle with a little olive oil
Enjoy!
