I tend to be a bit hungover on Saturdays, typically a result of heading to the pub after work on Friday and forgetting to have dinner. Which sometimes leads to overindulgence at the takeaway on the way home and hence my wanting something a bit healthier for lunch on Saturday.
Last Saturday was no different. So come lunchtime I raided the fridge to see what vegetables and yummy treats I could pull together for something tasty for myself and the boyfriend. And this is what I came up with: a halloumi, chorizo and potato salad. Delightful. Here's the recipe:
Halloumi, Chorizo and Potato Salad
Lamb's lettuce, rocket and fresh baby spinach
Fresh cherry tomatoes
Potatoes (preferable new but whatever is hidden in the cupboard will do)
Green beans
Chorizo sausage
Halloumi cheese
Olive oil
Walnut oil
Wash and chop the potatoes, skin still on. Place in a steamer for ten minutes, until cooked through but still fairly solid. Don't overcook!
Add the washed and chopped green beans to the steamer, shortly before the potatoes are done. They don't need long.
Chop the chorizo and toss into a frying pan. No oil - they're oily enough. After those essential oils have entered the pan, add in the halloumi wedges.
In the meantime, construct the salad. Place the salad leaves in a bowl, add chopped tomatoes, then add the steamed potatoes and beans. Next add the chorizo and the halloumi, some fresh pepper, then a drizzle of oil. Top off with a drizzle of walnut oil (or even chopped walnuts if you've got the real deal).
Done! A quick and healthy(-ish - the chorizo ain't great) lunch!!
