HARVEST FESTIVAL


So the recipe I’m telling you about doesn’t contain pink celery but couldn't stop myself from sharing its beauty with you! Isn’t nature just wonderful! 

Now onto the recipe which is what it’s all about and and this is probably a perfect light meal to enjoy during the current heatwave assailing everyone. 

So I’d been out for the day … the temptation was  to go the beans on toast/jacket potato route but I gently forced myself to get to work on a simple couscous salad with halloumi. Not from highfalutin places like the Good food guide … just sent in an email from the Co op of all places. 

 

Salty cheese drenched in oil from a jar of sun dried tomatoes melts in the oven in foil while you season the grains with home grown parsley and oregano. It says to griddle the courgettes but I just stuck them on a tray with the halloumi, added peas and chopped  sun dried tomatoes and bob’s your uncle! ( not said that for ages!! ). I opted out of the lemon juice and could have done with a handful more of the herbs but it was totally delicious and pretty healthy too! 


Think it even justified  the bananas and ice cream and toffee sauce I fancied after I missed out on dessert when I went out for dinner the night before ! Sadly my photos aren’t aesthetically pleasing but I can assure it tastes a lot better than it looks! 


Not sure if the link will take you to the website but if not just write it into your search bar and it seems to appear that way with no problem.
