Roasted vegetable & halloumi pittas

The strong, salty favour of the halloumi is a perfect match for the sweetness of the roasted vegetables. The paprika adds a little extra kick, but you could use basil or thyme for a milder flavour, if you prefer.

Ingredients

250g chestnut mushrooms,halved

1 courgette, topped, tailed and cut into 1cm slices

1 red pepper, de-seeded and cut into bite-sized pieces

1 red onion, cut into 8 wedges

1 tbsp olive oil

1 level tsp smoked paprika

2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

1 tbsp lemon juice

1/2 tsp coarse-grain mustard

125g halloumi, cut into 4 slices

4 wholemeal pitta breads

Method

1
Pre-heat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7. Put all the vegetables in a large roasting tin. Add the 1 tbsp of oil along with the paprika, then toss to coat. Cook in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chunks of veg are tender and tinged golden brown.
2
Whisk the balsamic vinegar, lemon juice and mustard together. Set aside.
3
When the vegetables are almost ready, scatter the halloumi on top. Return to the oven for 4-5 minutes, until the halloumi is just starting to soften.
4
Remove from the oven. Drizzle over the balsamic, lemon and mustard dressing, then toss well.
5
Sprinkle the pittas with a few drops of water on each side and put in the oven for 3-5 minutes, until puffed up. Cut in half, fill with the halloumi and veg mixture, and serve.
