Halloumi cheese, sliced86.6 g
Peas, green, split, mature seeds, raw80.2 g
Chile, jalapeño, sliced12.0 g
Coriander seeds, crushed6.6 g
Turmeric root, freshly grated4.0 g

Instructions

1

Rinse split peas thoroughly and boil in 2 cups of water with the grated turmeric root until tender and creamy, about 25-30 minutes. The texture should be thick and porridge-like.

2

While the peas simmer, heat a small non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the halloumi slices and sear until golden brown and crisp on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

3

In the same pan, quickly blister the jalapeño slices for 30 seconds until charred at the edges.

4

Stir the crushed coriander seeds into the warm split pea mash.

5

To serve, spoon the fragrant turmeric-infused split peas into a shallow bowl. Arrange the golden halloumi slices on top and garnish with the charred jalapeño slices. The dish should be aromatic, savory, and provide a satisfying textural contrast between the creamy pulses and squeaky, salty cheese.
