Cooking Steps
Prep: Wash and dry all produce. In a small pot, bring 1 cup salted water (double for 4 people) to a boil. Cut the tomatoes in half. Finely chop the parsley and mint leaves. Cut the apple into 1/2-inch cubes. Zest, then juice the lemon. Cut halloumi into 1/4-inch thick slices. In a large bowl, stir 1/2 pkg red onion (1 pkg for 4 people) with 1/4 cup lemon juice (double for 4 people). Set aside.
Cook the bulgur: Add the bulgur to the boiling water and remove from heat. Cover with a lid and let stand until tender and water has been absorbed, 16-18 min.
Prep the halloumi: Meanwhile, dry the halloumi with paper towels. In a large bowl, whisk the spice blend, 1 tbsp lemon juice (double for 4 people), 1/2 pkg honey (1 pkg for 4 people), and as much cayenne as you like. Add a drizzle of oil – just enough to make the mixture runny. Add the halloumi slices and coat all over.
Pan-fry the halloumi: Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high. Add the halloumi to the dry pan. (Keep the marinade in the bowl – we'll use it later to drizzle over the finished dish!) Cook until golden-brown, 2-3 min per side.
Assemble the tabbouleh: In the same bowl with the red onion, add the lemon zest, apple, tomato, parsley, half the mint and a drizzle of oil. (Taste and add more lemon juice, 1 tsp at a time, if you want the tabbouleh more tangy.)
Finish and serve: Stir the bulgur into the tabbouleh. Divide the tabbouleh between plates and serve alongside the smoky halloumi slices. Sprinkle with the remaining mint and drizzle with remaining marinade. Enjoy!
