- 210 g uncooked brown rice (~ 1 cup)
For the fajita veg:
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 medium courgette (zucchini), cut into sticks
- 2 bell peppers, sliced (I used red and yellow)
- 3 medium mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- Salt
- Black pepper
For the simple homemade salsa:
- 2 large tomatoes, chopped
- 1 spring onion, finely chopped
- Few sprigs fresh coriander (cilantro), finely chopped
- Salt
- Black pepper
To assemble:
- 9 slices halloumi cheese
- Sour cream
- Fresh coriander (cilantro)
- Chopped spring onions
- Hot sauce
Boil the brown rice in plenty of water, until cooked to your liking (around 20 minutes), then drain.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok, and add the chopped vegetables. Add the spices, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook over a high heat, stirring regularly, for about 5-10 minutes, until the vegetables are soft and just beginning to char.
To make the simple homemade salsa, add the diced tomatoes to a bowl with a chopped spring onion and some fresh coriander (cilantro). Add a pinch of salt and pepper, and mix to combine.
Cook the halloumi in a frying pan or griddle pan, until golden brown on each side.
Here are some more detailed instructions, if you need them.
To assemble your veggie fajita bowls, serve the cooked brown rice into three bowls. Top with the vegetable mixture, the grilled halloumi, and the homemade salsa. Finish with a dollop of sour cream, some chopped coriander and spring onions, and a dash of hot sauce.
