[ RECIPE ] Fried Halloumi, Chorizo & Black-Eye Bean Salad

It’s the end of my first week back at work and I survived!

To be fair it wasn’t too bad actually. My colleague filled the gap for me whilst I was sunning myself in beautiful Sorrento, which of course I was grateful for!

So much so in fact I ended up baking him my famous Flapjacks – which despite his strict diet of protein bars and creatine, think he appreciated 🙂

I’ve decided to re-define my recipes as they seem to be a bit all over the place up to this point in time. For instance, some are quite complex, others are a little too indulgent for what I originally setup the blog for.

Going forward my recipes will follow this basic mantra:

“Healthy. Simple. Delicious”

Pretty straightforward I’d say. But that’s what I’m about these days. You guys don’t want to have to spend endless hours in the kitchen, not when you can be in the gym of course!

The majority of my recipes can be made for a healthy dinner and can then be re-heated the following day for a tasty lunch or snack.

I believe the more of these types of meals you pack into your diet, the fitter and healthier you’ll become. Many people I speak to these days want to eat healthy but aren’t sure where to turn. Well this is the place.

Starting with this latest recipe. There’s not a great deal of ingredients involved and mostly everything goes straight into the pan once the initial prep is done. Anything that’s leftover can be enjoyed another time!

So I hope you enjoy this “Fried Halloumi, Chorizo & Black Eye Bean Salad” and have yourselves a great weekend.
