Crispy Chickpeas and Halloumi with Greens
Halloumi, a Mediterranean cheese, takes center stage in this flavorful, crispy dish. Paired with spicy chickpeas, wilted greens, and a creamy garlicky yogurt sauce, this meal captures a delightful mix of textures and flavors that will elevate any weeknight dinner. Originally inspired by Alison Roman’s “Dining In,” this vegetarian twist skips the lamb for crispy fried halloumi—a substitution that brings all the comfort and cheesy goodness you crave!
