Pour into the hot pan. Cook the eggplant in the dry pan stirring constantly until browned all over but still firm enough to hold its shape. Add the olives and stir together.

Add the Urban Appetite Zucchini & Cardamom Sauté Sauce, lemon zest, juice and cous cous. Stir together and heat until simmering. Remove from the heat and stir in the haloumi cheese and spinach. Serve in a large warmed dish..
