This delicious dish was inspired by a recipe that Lina of @thelebaneseplate had shared on her page. As I had some delicious Lebanese produce from @minbaladeh, I thought this recipe would be the best to bake!

INGREDIENTS
- 1 handful wild zaatar
- 1 handful green zaatar
- 2-3 spring onions,, chopped
- 1 whole garlic, head, halved
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 block halloumi, , washed, patted dry and cubed
- pinch of salt
- fresh black pepper
- dried zaatar
- extra virgin olive oil
- pomegranate molasses
Method
- 1)
Preheat oven to 180C In a large overproof dish, drizzle some olive oil then start adding the herbs, the tomatoes and the halloumi.
- 2)
I like to use my hands to mix everything and to ensure that every bit is coated in olive oil.
- 3)
Place 1 half of the head of garlic cut side up in the dish, and scatter the rest of the cloves from the other half all over the veggies and herbs.
- 4)
Drizzle some pomegranate molasses, season with salt, pepper and dried zaatar, gently mix then you have 2 options: -serve as it is, as a cold salad Or -bake in the preheated oven for about 30min or until the halloumi is melted and golden and the tomatoes are caramelised and all juicy.
- 5)
In both cases, use pieces of arabic bread or pita bread to mop all the delicious juices. Yum!
