Preparation
1
Prepare the couscous: In a medium bowl, combine the dry couscous with hot water. Add a pinch of salt if desired. Stir, then cover the bowl and let it sit for 5-7 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the couscous is fluffy. Fluff with a fork.
2
While the couscous rehydrates, prepare the vegetables and halloumi: Wash and pat dry the bell pepper and zucchini. Slice the bell pepper into strips, the zucchini into half-moon slices, and the red onion into wedges. Cut the halloumi block into 1 cm thick slices.
3
Grill the ingredients: Drizzle the vegetable slices and halloumi with olive oil. Sprinkle with dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Grill the halloumi slices for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and tender. Grill the vegetables for 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until tender-crisp and slightly charred.
4
Assemble and serve: Divide the fluffy couscous into two serving bowls. Arrange the grilled halloumi and vegetables on top of the couscous. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top for a bright finish. Serve immediately.
