Method

Heat the oven to 200C, gas 6. Put the peppers, cut-side down, on a large baking tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle the peppers with a little olive oil and roast for 5 mins, then turn and cook for a further 5 mins.
Dry-fry the mince (from frozen) in a non-stick sauté pan. Remove to a plate, then add the remaining olive oil to the pan and cook the onion with the herbs and spices for 5 mins.
Add back the lamb, tomato purée and stock, and simmer for 10 mins. Stir in the grains to coat in the meat sauce. Season to taste.
Spoon lamb mix into the peppers and top with halloumi. Pop in the oven to melt the cheese. Serve with salad.
