Halloumi Salad with Walnut Pesto Soya Beans and Tomatoes Recipe

Panko Crab Cakes, Rocket Salad and an Anchovy and Caper Dressing Recipe

Baked Goats Cheese, Aubergine and Walnut Salad with a Blackberry and Thyme Dressing Recipe

Garlic and Lemon Roasted Red Cabbage with Halloumi Recipe
A whole red cabbage is always too much for just me and Paul and rather than have it raw twice, I wondered what it would be like baked as we recently had roasted broccoli in a salad which was a great success. The halloumi went really well with all of the flavours and the texture…
