1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

400g canned lentils, rinsed and drained
1 red onion, diced
1/2 cup (1 cup) parsley, packed, chopped
1/3 cup pomegranate seeds
For the Dressing:
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

1 teaspoon sea salt flakes
Pinch of black pepper

To Serve:

Instructions:
Roast the Eggplant:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
In a bowl, toss the eggplant pieces with flaky salt, sumac, sweet paprika, ground cinnamon, and extra virgin olive oil until well coated.
Spread the eggplant on a baking sheet and roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden and tender, flipping halfway through.
Cook the Halloumi:
In a skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the halloumi pieces and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from heat.
Prepare the Lentil Salad:
In a large bowl, combine the rinsed lentils, diced red onion, chopped parsley, and pomegranate seeds. Add the roasted eggplant and halloumi once they are ready.
Make the Dressing:
In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, dried oregano, ground cumin, sea salt flakes, black pepper, and sesame seeds.
Combine and Serve:
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Serve topped with fresh mint leaves, extra sesame seeds, and pomegranate seeds. Drizzle with pomegranate molasses if desired.
