RICE, RICE BABY
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Rinse the rice and place in a pot over a medium-high heat. Submerge in 300ml of salted water and pop on a lid. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Keeping the lid on, remove from the heat and set aside to steam for a further 10 minutes. On completion, drain if necessary and fluff up with a fork.
ROAST WITH THE MOST
Boil the kettle. Spread out the pepper pieces, the baby marrow chunks, the rinsed chickpeas, and the tomato wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, the rub, and seasoning. Pour in 40ml of boiling water and bake in the hot oven for 15-20 minutes, until the veggies have browned.
THE ANGEL’S HALLO-UMI
When the roast has 5-10 minutes remaining, place a pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the halloumi slabs and fry for 1-2 minutes per side until crispy and golden. On completion, drain on some paper towel. Loosen the pesto with oil in 5ml increments until a drizzling consistency.
THE GREAT HALLOUMI BAKE OFF!
Plate up the fluffy rice. Pile on the roasted veg and chickpeas. Drizzle over any tray juices. Top with the golden halloumi and spoon over the loosened pesto. Sprinkle with the torn basil and dig in, Chef!
