SPICY! The is a mild spice blend, but use less if you're sensitive to heat. Finely chop the brown onion. Finely chop the garlic. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with a dash of olive oil over a medium heat. Cook the onion and garlic until softened, 3-4 minutes. Add the Tex-Mex spice blend, tomato paste (see ingredients) and the vegetable stock powder and stir to coat. Add the basmati rice and water and stir to combine. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 12 minutes, then remove from the heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the water has absorbed, 15 minutes.

TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!

While the rice is cooking, cut the haloumi into 1cm slices (you should get 3 pieces per person).

Heat a medium frying pan over a high heat. Cook the corn kernels until lightly charred, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool slightly.

TIP: Cover the pan with a lid if the corn kernels are "popping" out

Return the frying pan to a medium high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the haloumi until golden brown, 1-2 minutes each side. Set aside. Add the tomato, cucumber, coriander and a drizzle of white wine vinegar to the charred corn, toss to combine and season to taste.
