Fried Halloumi Recipe with Caramelised Red Onion and Lentils - 20 Minute Meal

Halve the ciabatta bread and chop into 2 centimeter squares.

Slice the baby plum tomatoes.

Place the tomatoes in the ciabatta bread on a baking tray.

Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Shake the tray to mix.

Place the baking tray on the top shelf of the oven at 200 degrees Celsius and leave it for 10 minutes.

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a frying pan and add the chopped red onions.

Break the red onions apart with a wooden spoon and cook until soft, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Add balsamic vinegar to the softened onions, turn the heat down, and allow to caramelize, stirring occasionally.

Once caramelized, stir in the grated garlic and cook for another minute.

Add vegetable stock and water, stirring to dissolve the vegetable stock.

Add the lentils to the mixture.

When the lentils are piping hot, add the baby spinach in batches, stirring to wilt each batch before adding more.

Fry the halloumi cheese until golden, about 3 to 4 minutes.
