Quick Pickled Radishes:
240 g radishes, thinly sliced
120 ml Aspall Organic Apple Cyder Vinegar
120 ml water
1 tsp fine sea salt
2 tsp sugar or honey
Herby Grains:
120 g bulgur and/or quinoa
Small handful fresh herbs (parsley, dill, mint)
1 tsp Dijon mustard
Juice of ½ lemon
1 tbsp Mellow Yellow Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil
1 tbsp Aspall Organic Apple Cyder Vinegar
Salt and pepper
Roasted Purple Sprouting Broccoli:
150 g purple sprouting broccoli, leaves included
1 tbsp Mellow Yellow rapeseed oil
1 tbsp Aspall red wine vinegar
Salt and pepper
Halloumi:
200g pack of halloumi
1-2 tsp hot honey
1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
Pickle the radishes: Pack them into a jar or bowl, then add the warm vinegar, water, salt, and sugar – stir to dissolve and ensure everything is fully submerged. Leave for 15 minutes or do this in advance – placing them in the fridge for optimum flavour.
For the grains: Cook the bulgur and quinoa according to packet instructions. Toss with the chopped herbs, mustard, lemon juice, Mellow Yellow Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil, and Aspall Apple Cyder Vinegar, season with salt and pepper to taste.
Toss the broccoli (leaves included) with Mellow Yellow rapeseed oil, salt, and pepper, then roast at 200°C / 180°C fan / 400°F for 12–15 minutes, until charred. Finish with Aspall red wine vinegar in the hot tray before serving.
Soak the halloumi briefly in boiling water to soften slightly, then fry until golden on both sides. Drizzle with hot honey and sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds.
Plate the herby grains as a base, top with golden halloumi, add the roasted broccoli and pickled radishes. Finish with a drizzle of Mellow Yellow Chilli Oil for a little extra punch.
