• 1 medium Onion, chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium Zucchini, diced
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
• 400 grams Keto-friendly white beans (such as lupini beans), drained and rinsed
• 400 grams Canned crushed tomatoes

• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add cubed halloumi and fry until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the halloumi from the pot and set aside.

Step 2

In the same pot, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced zucchini and red bell pepper to the pot. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.

Step 5

Add the drained keto-friendly white beans and canned crushed tomatoes to the pot. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Stir in the ground cumin, ground coriander, and dried oregano.

Step 7

Season the stew with salt and black pepper, then bring it to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer gently for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Return the fried halloumi to the pot and stir gently to combine.

Step 9

Taste the stew and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
