AUB FRIES
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the Aubergine chips onto a roasting tray, generously coat in oil and seasoning, and spread them out evenly, skin-side down. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes, shifting halfway. If you’d like them crispier, pop on the grill for 3-5 minutes at the end.
COOL COUSCOUS
Boil the kettle. Using a shallow bowl, submerge the couscous in 125ml of boiling water. Add a drizzle of oil and gently stir through with a fork. Cover with a plate and set aside to steam for 5-8 minutes until tender. Season with some Lemon zest, salt and pepper. Just before serving, toss with the rinsed green leaves and the Radish rounds.
Tahini YOGGY
Place a pan over a medium heat with the Sumac. Toast for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant, shifting constantly. Remove from the pan on completion. In a bowl, add the yoghurt, the Tahini, a squeeze of lemon juice, a splash of water and some seasoning. Mix until fully combined.
HELLO Halloumi
Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Halloumi slabs for 1-2 minutes per side until crispy and golden. Leave to drain on some paper towel. Add the toasted sumac and toss to combine.
