Method
Cube the cheese and add to a hot pan with butter, cumin seeds and chilli. Allow to brown on each side. When almost done, add the chickpeas and harissa paste to taste (usually 1 - 2 tsp) and allow to warm through. Just before removing from heat stir in the quinoa/bulgur so that it can absorb some of the spices.
Layer rocket, cucumber, tomatoes, beetroot, spring onions etc in a bowl then add warm ingredients. Mix gently to combine warm and cool elements. Garnish with boiled eggs if desired.
