    1. Hi Sarah, sorry have just added halloumi to the ingredients. It is a 225g block of halloumi. Hope that helps!

  1. In my haste….I didnt freeze with the olive oil or paste…..will the veggies be OK? 🙁

  2. Love this idea! If you know you will be cooking it within the next couple of days, is it ok to store in fridge? (And does this answer apply to other grab and cook recipes?)
