Ingredients

  • 170g pot Greek yogurt
  • lemon , zested, then cut into wedges for squeezing
  • 1 tbsp rose harissa
  • 3 tbsp za'atar, plus extra for sprinkling
  • 75g plain flour
  • 2 x 250g blocks halloumi , cut into fries
  • oil, for frying
  • handful mint , leaves torn

Method

  1. Mix the yogurt with the lemon zest and some seasoning, then swirl through the harissa so that you have pockets of hot and cool in the dip.
  2. On a plate, stir the za’atar into the flour, then roll the halloumi in the mixture so that it’s evenly coated. Heat the oil in a shallow, heavy-bottomed pan or casserole dish until 180C on a cooking thermometer, or a piece of bread browns in 20 secs. Working in batches, carefully lower the halloumi into the oil and cook for 2 mins until crisp and golden, then drain on kitchen paper.
  3. Sprinkle over the mint and za’atar, and serve with the lemon wedges and the spicy yogurt for dipping.

ONE PAN CHILI LIME CHICKEN & RICE

ONE PAN CHILI LIME CHICKEN & RICE

One Pan Chili Lime Chicken and Rice is made in one pan with minimal ingredients but is packed with amazing flavor!  Your entire family will love this easy 3o minute meal!

I am OBSESSED with one pan and one pot meals. The whole idea of making a main dish and a side dish all in one pan without having to worry about separate cooking times, or dirtying up a million bakeware items is kind of genius. And I’m always looking for simple 30-ish minute dinners my family will love so anything that can be done in about a half hour is right up my alley.
This dish has SO much flavor packed into it and it only calls for a few ingredients – you can’t be that! It meets both of my big checklist items: one pan AND ready in about 30 minutes. And this dish is one you can easily customize by kicking up the spice with some chopped jalapeños, or adding corn and beans to the rice right at the end. My whole family loves this and I know yours will too!
