TIME TO GET SAUCY
Boil the kettle. Dilute the stock with 250ml of boiling water. Place a deep saucepan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced Onion for 2-3 minutes until soft and translucent. Stir in the diluted stock, Cooked Chopped Tomatoes, and rinsed split lentils. Bring to a simmer, then reduce to a low-medium heat and pop on a lid. Allow to cook for 8-10 minutes until the lentils are soft, stirring occasionally.
HARISSA DRESSING
In a bowl, combine the harissa paste with a drizzle of oil and three-quarters of the chopped coriander. Mix with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Set aside for serving.
TOASTED NUTS
Place the pistachios in a clean pan over a medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until starting to brown, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool.
CRISP THE Halloumi
When the lentil sauce has about 5 minutes to go, return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Halloumi slices for 1-2 minutes per side until crispy and golden. On completion, set aside to drain on some paper towel – and try not to eat it all before serving!
FINISH UP
When the lentil sauce has finished cooking, remove from the heat and add some seasoning and a sweetener of choice to taste. Add in half of the crème fraîche and gently mix into the sauce until creating a marbled pattern, but not fully combined.
DISH UP
Spread a layer of crispy Corn Nachos over a plate. Smother in the lentil sauce and dollop over the remaining crème fraîche. Lay the golden Halloumi slices on top and drizzle over the harissa and coriander dressing. Garnish with the chopped Dried Cranberries, chopped jalapeños, toasted pistachios, and remaining Fresh Coriander. What a winner of a dinner!
