This stew (or soup as it should be called) is one of our favourites, it's simple, quick and delicious. We originally found the recipe in Metro, and then modified it to suit our tastes.

It sounds delicious and it certainly looks easy.
Great to try now that we're on a little mini-vacation.
A whole week we will be out and about, it is so cosy even though it is cold outside. Have a planned stop, at our motorhome dealer on Monday, but otherwise we travel around as we usually do what the nose points.
Have a nice weekend;)

It looks delicious! We'll try it, as there are plenty of great vegetables here in Spain.

Tasty stew. For a change from rice and chicken, a hot Mediterranean stew wouldn't be out of place.

Inspiring with some Mediterranean food! I must try the stew but I've looked for sambal oelek here before and it seems to be impossible to find. But I will try it anyway. Nice blog with interesting topics.

How delicious and healthy that sounded! I have to say that cooking halloumi was something very new to me! Does it melt or how does it turn out?

Leena, wonderful with a mini holiday! Isn't it cosy to get out with the motorhome even though it's cold? We have planned to go out with the motorhome next weekend.
Carolia, glad you stopped by and that you like our blog! Of course, it can be difficult to find all the spices you want sometimes depending on where you are. In the worst case scenario, you have to improvise a bit...
😉
Ferferi, yes the halloumi melts together a bit and becomes more like small shapeless balls, but it is really good in the stew!

Thought about saving Monday with your stew. But: should it really be 1.5 litres of water?

admin says:
Agnes, yes, there should actually be that much water, if you make four servings...

It looks really good!!!
Answer: I usually avoid pocket car parks. I would rather walk several hundred metres further than try to squeeze my car into a small pocket.

Looks delicious, and easy!
Unfortunately, we're having a little trouble getting Haloumi here...

It looks delicious! Thanks for the recipe! There are plenty of nice vegetables here in the south and I have halloumi too.
Enjoy your continuing winter excursions!
