Loaded Halloumi Flatbreads

These loaded halloumi flatbreads are a vibrant celebration of flavour and texture, making them an ideal choice for a nutritious vegetarian lunch or a quick midweek dinner. The combination of salty, golden-brown halloumi and a zesty, spiced yoghurt dressing brings a wonderful depth to the dish, while the addition of sweet Medjool dates and crunchy shredded vegetables provides a refreshing contrast. It is a colourful, Mediterranean-inspired meal that feels both indulgent and wholesome.

Perfect for sharing, this recipe is easily adaptable depending on what you have in the fridge; you can swap the red cabbage for white or add a handful of rocket for extra Peppery notes. The fibre-rich chickpeas and protein-packed halloumi ensure this dish is as satisfying as it is delicious. Serve these wraps immediately while the flatbreads are still warm and the cheese remains wonderfully soft and squeaky.

  • 4 large flatbreads or wraps

  • 125g (130g) hummus

  • 1 tablespoon harissa

  • 1/2 small red cabbage, shredded

  • 1 small red onion, grated

  • 4 medjool dates, stoned (pitted) and chopped

  • 400g (400g) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained

  • A handful of coriander, chopped

  • Juice of 1 orange

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 red chilli, diced

  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh root ginger

  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds

  • 1 teaspoon black mustard seeds

  • 200g (200g / 110g ) Greek yoghurt

  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Make the crunchy salad: mix all the ingredients together in a bowl.

Make the dressing: heat the oil in a small frying pan (skillet) over a low heat. Add the chilli and ginger and cook for 2 minutes, then stir in the seeds. Cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Put the yoghurt in a clean bowl and stir in the chilli, ginger and seed mixture. Season to taste. Gently toss the salad in the dressing.

Dry-fry the halloumi in a non-stick frying pan (skillet) over a medium heat for 2–3 minutes each side until golden brown and crispy on the outside and softened inside. Remove and drain on kitchen paper (paper towels).

Warm the flatbreads on a griddle pan or in a low oven and spread them with the hummus. Top with the halloumi and crunchy salad, and dot with harissa. Serve immediately.
