Prep:

1. -cut cauliflower into florets
2. -cut halloumi into cubes
3. -peel and crush garlic
4. -peel and grate ginger
5. -peel and slice onion

Method:

1. Use ratio of 1.5 cups water to 1 cup rice. Add both to a saucepan and bring to the boil, cover with a tight fitting lid, turn heat to low and cook for 14 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then stand covered for 5 minutes, fluff up with a fork.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil or butter. Add the sliced red onion and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes. Next, add the crushed garlic and grated ginger to the skillet, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower starts to soften and brown slightly. Add spice mixture, stirring well to coat the cauliflower evenly with the spices.
4. Add the cubed halloumi and cook for another 4-5 minutes until the halloumi is golden brown and the cauliflower is tender. Stir in the baby spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
5. Serve the cooked basmati rice on plates. Top with the spiced cauliflower, halloumi, and spinach mixture.
