Ingredients

  • 225 g (~ 8 oz) block halloumi cheese
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 200 g (~ 2 cups) frozen sliced peppers (or equivalent fresh)
  • 130 g (~ 1 1/3 cups) frozen sliced mushrooms (or equivalent fresh)
  • 120 g (~ 1 cup) frozen sweetcorn (or equivalent fresh)
  • 400 g tin black beans, drained (240g, or ~ 1 1/4 cups, when drained)
  • 400 g tin (~ 1 1/3 cups) chopped tomatoes
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp hot chilli powder
  • 1 tsp dried mixed herbs
  • Black pepper

Instructions

  • Coarsely crumble the block of halloumi into chunks (it will break down a little more as you stir the chilli, so don't crumble it too small).
  • Heat a dash of oil in a saucepan, and add the crumbled halloumi and the frozen vegetables. Cook over a medium heat for around 10 minutes, stirring regularly, until the frozen veg have released all their liquid, and any excess liquid has cooked off (fresh veg will cook slightly more quickly).
  • Add the black beans, chopped tomatoes, and spices, along with a generous pinch of black pepper. Halloumi is quite salty, so you shouldn't need to add any additional salt. Mix well, and allow to simmer gently for at least 10 minutes (longer is fine!), until the chilli has become thick and rich. You can add a dash of water if it starts to become too dry.
  • Serve hot.
