Low-Carb Curried Halloumi Skillet

Need a quick low-carb dinner for two in less than 20 minutes? This Curried Halloumi Skillet is a definite must-try!

This easy vegetarian keto meal uses our homemade Curry Simmer Sauce which is creamy, mild and kid-friendly but you could always add some heat by using cayenne pepper or fresh chillies. The sauce is really versatile and will work with plenty more options, including some vegetarian and pescatarian meals including:

• Keto Curried Spinach Paneer Skillet
• Keto Curried Shrimp Zucchini Skillet
• Keto Curried Chicken Cauliflower Skillet
• Keto Curried Pork Chops with Cauliflower Rice

We all have different dietary needs so it's only natural that you may need to adjust the macros in this recipe. You can make any adjustments directly in the KetoDiet App by cloning any of the recipes from my blog and customizing them to fit your macros and preferences.

Step-by-step

1. Prepare the homemade Curry Simmer Sauce by following the instructions here. (If you haven't got any, this will take an extra just 15 minutes.) Store any leftover curry sauce in the fridge for up to 5 days.

2. To prepare the cauliflower rice, place the florets in a food processor and process using a grating blade or the "S" blade until it resembles rice consistency. Grease a skillet with a tablespoon of ghee (or olive oil) and add the cauliflower rice. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure even cooking. Take off the heat, season with salt and pepper and stir through.

   

3. Cut the halloumi cheese into 6 slices. Heat a skillet greased with ghee or olive oil over a medium-high heat. Add the halloumi slices and cook for a few minutes per each side, until golden brown. Be careful not to burn the halloumi.

4. Once browned, add the curry sauce and cook for a minute or two to heat through.

   

5. Serve the halloumi (3 per serving) with the prepared cauliflower rice and curry sauce. Serve while still hot. To store, let it cool down and refrigerate for up to 5 days. Halloumi should always be reheated before serving.
