Couscous with Halloumi Cheese

Ingredients for 4 servings:

2 dl couscous
1 tablespoon olive oil
200 g (7 oz) canned white beans
100 g (3,5 oz) cherry tomatoes
1 bunch of basil
250 g  (8,8 oz) halloumi cheese
1 tablespoon butter

Salt and pepper 

Boil  4dl water with a  little salt. Remove the water from the heat right after it comes to a boil. Pour couscous in and cover the pot with a lid. Allow the couscous to sit for about 15 minutes. Add olive oil. Rinse the beans, cut the tomatoes in half, chop up the basil and add them all to the couscous. Cut the halloumi into smaller pieces and fry them in butter until golden brown. Put them on top of the couscous salad, season with salt and pepper.

Baked Beets with Feta Cheese

I wash the beets then I put them each on a piece of tin foil. Sprinkle with olive oil and and stick a fork in it a few times to create holes for the steam. I wrap them up in the foil and put them in the hot oven.  I bake them for about 30 minutes or more. It depends on how soft you like them.

I peel the warm beets, slice them up and pour balsamic vinegar and olive oil over them. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top and lots of green spices: parsley, basil, rucola, thyme or whatever you can find at home. You can add some red onions as well.
