Loaded Mexican Halloumi Roasties
Serves 4
Directions
- 1Peel and cut the potatoes into medium pieces.
- 2Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and cover them in cold, salted water.
- 3Bring them to the boil and simmer until tender, but still firm enough that you can shake them up without them breaking.
- 4Drain the potatoes and give them a really good shake in the colander to fluff up the edges, then leave the potatoes to steam dry for 15 minutes.
- 5Cut up the peppers, onion and halloumi.
- 6Heat the oven to 200C (fan).
- 7Drizzle vegetable oil in a roasting tin and place in the oven for 3 minutes.
- 8Add fajita spice mix into the roasting tin and stir until the spice has mixed with the oil.
- 9Tip the potatoes into the pan, turn them over until coated, season with salt and place them in the oven for around 40 minutes turning once.
- 10Place the peppers and onion on a separate baking tray.
- 11Mix oil with fajita mix and use a pastry brush to paint the spicy oil all over the halloumi strips until coated.
- 12Drizzle the rest of the oil over the veg and use your hands to ensure that it's coated and place the halloumi strips in between the veg.
- 13When the potatoes have been in the oven for 40 minutes, give them a turn before returning to the oven with the halloumi and veg tray for a final 20 minutes.
- 14Mix the tomato puree, honey and water together.
- 15When everything is cooked, tip the puree over the halloumi and veg, season with salt and pepper and use a fish slice to turn the mixture over until everything is coated in tomato sauce.
- 16Tip the roast potatoes onto a serving plate and top with the Mexican halloumi mix.
- 17Finish with some soured cream, coriander and a little lime.
