Ingredients

1 1/2
standard mugful frozen peas
Finely grated zest and juice 1/2 lemon
1
cutlery spoonful tahini or plain yogurt
250 g
pack halloumi, drained
1
glug oil, vegetable, olive or sunflower are best
1
cutlery spoonful runny honey
1/2 tsp.
dried chilli flakes, or to taste
2
thick slices bread, toasted

Directions

1. Step 1Pour the peas into a heatproof bowl and cover with just-boiled water from the kettle. Set aside to defrost and soften for 10min. Drain well and return to the empty bowl. Roughly mash, using a potato masher or fork as best as you can. Add the lemon zest and juice, tahini or yogurt and some seasoning and mash again until combined. Set aside.
2. Step 2Cut the halloumi into 8 slices. Heat the oil in a medium non-stick frying pan over medium heat for 1min. Add the halloumi and fry for 3min per side, until golden brown.
3. Step 3In a small bowl, mix the runny honey, chilli flakes and 1 cutlery spoonful water. Pour mixture into the halloumi pan and cook for 1min more, turning to coat the cheese in the sticky mixture. Remove pan from the heat.
4. Step 4Spoon the mashed peas on to the toast slices and place on 2 plates. Top with the halloumi and any sticky sauce from the pan. Serve.

GH TIP:

To make smashed avocado, halve a ripe avocado, pop out the stone (by pressing on the skin behind the stone) and scoop the flesh from both sides into a bowl. Add a cutlery spoonful of lemon or lime juice and some seasoning. Mash with a fork until fairly smooth.
