Prep time: 15 mins Cook time: 10 mins

Scoop out the pomegranate seeds, making sure to avoid all the bitter white membrane, and place them in a bowl. Add the olive oil, parsley, lemon juice, chilli and garlic and then season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Allow the flavours to infuse whilst you cook the halloumi.

Heat a griddle pan or a frying pan until hot and cook the halloumi slices for a couple of minutes on each side, until golden.

Place some mixed leaves onto 4 serving plates and add 3 slices of halloumi and drizzle with a little honey. Spoon over some of the pomegranate salsa and serve.
