WHB #114: Spiced chickpeas with halloumi
The 114th edition of Weekend Herb Blogging is hosted by the inventor of this great event herself: Kalyn from Kalyn's Kitchen. I have to admit that I passed the last 10 rounds, first I renovated the kitchen and then I had some problems. But a New Year and a new post from my new kitchen. In Northern Germany it's grey, cold and damp and I desired for some vitamins in a winter salad. I didn't follow the recipe below. I used 3 fresh bell peppers, roasted them under the grill and removed the skin. Spiced chickpeas with halloumi
Delicious and gave me a kick!

Directions
1. Heat the oil in a pan, then gently fry the chilli and ginger for 1 min. Stir in chickpeas, spinach and peppers, then season. Cover, then cook gently for 3-4 mins, stirring occasionally, until the spinach has wilted and the chickpeas are warmed through.
2. Meanwhile, heat a non-stick frying pan until piping hot. Cut the halloumi into 6 slices and quickly fry for 1-2 mins each side. Stir the lemon juice into the chickpeas and divide between two plates. Top with the halloumi and serve immediately.
