Ingredients

• 250 grams halloumi cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, diced onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 2 medium, sliced carrots
• 1 medium, diced zucchini
• 1 diced red bell pepper
• 1 medium, diced eggplant
• 400 grams canned tomatoes
• 500 milliliters vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Cut the halloumi cheese into 1 cm cubes.

Step 2

In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the halloumi cubes and fry until golden on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the halloumi and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the diced onion until translucent, approximately 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the carrots, zucchini, red bell pepper, and eggplant. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 6

Pour in the canned tomatoes and vegetable broth. Stir in the cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Bring the stew to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 8

Return the fried halloumi to the pot and gently stir to combine. Allow to heat through for about 5 minutes.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
