Roast Carrot with Kale & Halloumi in Marmalade Dressing

Marmalade is our secret ingredient for this winter salad –  it’s such a great one for cooking up carrots, and any leftovers can be chucked in a stir-fry the following day.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 lemon
  • 5 x medium carrots, cut into batons
  • 2 handfuls curly kale (or more!), chopped
  • 1/2 pack halloumi, cubed
  • 1 clove of garlic, crushed
  • 2 tsp marmalade
  • 1tsp wholegrain mustard
  • 2tbsp soy sauce
  • 1tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1 tbsp oil (olive or sesame if you have it)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Handful of pumpkin seeds

Method:

  1. Preheat oven to 200c
  2. Toss carrots in the oil, season with salt and roast in the oven for 15 minutes
  3. Make the dressing: using a jam jar or lidded tupperware tub, shake together the marmalade, soy sauce, mustard and 1 tbsp oil
  4. After 15 minutes, toss carrots with half of the dressing and roast for 5 more minutes
  5. In a frying pan on a high heat, fry the halloumi in the remaining dressing for 2-3 minutes or until it browns
  6. Add the kale to the frying pan, with the juice of half a lemon and a pinch of salt, until it has wilted
  7. Remove from the heat and toss the kale and halloumi with the carrots
  8. Add the pumpkin seeds and serve (with pitta bread or another flat bread is a good option!)
