Not for anyone on the Atkins diet!
This was from an old Nigella recipe book, one of the few that we actually enjoyed from it. I've tinkered with the quantities a bit, and you can add another potato and sweet potato (if you're feeling ravenous) without diluting the flavour at all.
Ingredients
Makes 2 servings
- 1 potato (red or King Edwards will do)
- 1 large Sweet Potato
- 1 Red Pepper
- 1 Yellow Pepper
- 1 Red Onion
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1 packet Halloumi
- Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- Olive Oil
Preparation
1. Prepare the veg:- peppers chopped into 1 inch pieces, onion into 1 cm chunks, garlic through the presser, taters peeled and cut into pieces (1 cm pieces for potato, 1 in pieces for the sweet potato)
2. Slice the halloumi into fairly thin slices. Basically, you need enough so it spreads fairly evenly through the rest of the mixture.
3. Pour a good dollop of oil into a roasting pan of appropriate size. Enough to give your veggies a good coating.
4. Put the garlic into the oil, followed by the rest of the veg. Give it all a good mix so the veggies get some oil on them.
5. Add the halloumi and mix again.
6. Give the mixture a good grinding of pepper and mix again. Don't add salt unless you like your dinners incredibly salty - the halloumi is a very salty cheese and should provide all the salt you need for this dish.
7. Put in the oven at 200 degrees C for between an hour and an hour and 1/4. Mix from time to time. Once your veg are all soft and nicely browned on the top, take out and enjoy the carb rush!
Comments
I wonder if you could substitute mozzarella? Have you tried?
I haven't tried mozzarella because I really like the melted halloumi in this dish. I don't see any reason why you couldn't use it however, you'd just need to add to salt to the recipe as mozzarella isn't a v salty cheese like halloumi.
