Cooking Instructions:

1. TO PREPARE THE VEGETABLES:

Using half the carrot, peel and make ribbons by pulling a peeler the full length along the carrot, rotating after each peel. Using half the orange, peel then cut into segments. Trim both ends off the green beans, then cut in half. Slice the halloumi into 1cm slices.
2. TO MAKE THE WARM FREEKEH SALAD:

Heat a drizzle of oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Once hot, add the green beans, season with salt and pepper and cook for 2-3 mins, stirring occasionally to create a char. Open the bag of steamed freekeh, breaking up any clumps by squeezing the bag gently then add to the pan. Cook for 2-3 mins then transfer to a salad bowl. Cool slightly then add the carrot, orange segments and mizuna. Pour over the mint dressing just before serving, season with salt and toss to combine.
3. TO COOK THE HALLOUMI:

Wipe out the pan and place back over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Add the halloumi and cook for 2-3 mins each side or until golden. Add ¾ of the harissa honey glaze, turn to coat the halloumi, and cook for 30-60 secs or until the glaze has reduced slightly.
TO SERVE:

Spoon the warm freekeh salad into a bowl and top with the Tunisian seared halloumi. Drizzle with remaining harissa honey and sprinkle with toasted almonds.
