Method

Get a griddle pan smoking hot. Brush the courgette strips with the oil and cook in batches for a minute a side until striped, then the halloumi slices for two minutes a side until golden.
Halve the tomatoes and mix them into the couscous with the lemon, mint, chilli flakes and a pinch of salt.
Pile the courgette and halloumi on top and eat while the cheese is still soft.

Worth knowing

Halloumi hardens as it cools. Everything else should be ready before it goes in the pan.
Seventy grams of halloumi is smaller than the half-block most people cut. At 125 g the dish is nearer 670 kcal.
