Method
- Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a hob-safe casserole (with a tight lid). Add the onions and fry over a medium heat for 15 minutes or until starting to brown. Add the pepper and fry for 5 minutes, then stir in the garlic and spices and fry for 2 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes, chickpeas, harissa, tomato purée, vinegar, a large pinch of sugar and some salt. Cover and cook gently for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
- Toss the halloumi in cornflour in a bowl if you want it extra crispy. Heat the remaining oil in a non-stick frying pan, then fry the halloumi over a medium heat until golden and crisp on all sides. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a kitchen paper-lined plate to drain.
- Spoon the chickpeas among warmed flatbreads, then top with the crispy halloumi, torn herbs and greek yogurt.

This was really tasty did add some stock to save from sticking.
This was absolutely delicious! I was worried about it becoming too dry as the recipe does not have a lot of moisture to it so I added 350ml of stock, a bit at a time during the 1 hour cooking time. I will absolutely make this again.
