Heat stock until simmering in a small saucepan, then remove from heat. 

Mix couscous and ras el hanout, then add to the saucepan of hot stock. 

Rest with lid on, without stirring, for 5 minutes. 

Remove the lid and fluff up the couscous with a fork. Stir butter through and set aside. 

Remove haloumi from packaging and pat dry with a paper towel. Slice into thick slices. 

Heat a non-stick frypan or griddle pan over medium heat and coat with olive oil spray. 

Fry the cheese for about 2 minutes per side, or until golden.
