Halloumi burgers
from donnadundas.co.ukNotes
Cajun spice mix is optional. A slice of pickled cucumber also goes great in the burger.
Ingredients
- 1 Vine Tomato
- 1 Garlic Clove
- 1 large Sweet Potato
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Cajun Spice
- 1 block Halloumi
- 3 tbsp Sour Cream
- 2 Brioche Buns
- 1 Baby Gem Lettuce
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees.
- Slice the tomato.
- Peel and finely chop the garlic and sprinkle with a little salt. Use the flat of your knife to crush into a paste by repeatedly pressing down on the garlic and dragging.
- Wash (but don’t peel) the sweet potato and chop into chunky wedges.
- Toss the wedges in 1 tbsp of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook on the top shelf of the oven for around 20-25 mins.
- Mix the Cajun spice with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Cut the halloumi into slices just under 1cm thick.
- Rub the Cajun infused oil over the halloumi.
- Mix the sour cream with a bit of the garlic paste and a small pinch of salt and pepper. Give it a taste and add more garlic paste until it tastes just right.
- When the sweet potatoes are 5 mins away from cooked, heat a non-stick pan on medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot gently lay in the halloumi and cook for 2 mins on each side, turning only once.
- Cut the buns in half and put them in the oven for 2 mins to crisp them up.
- Slice the lettuce.
- Serve the halloumi inside the buns with the lettuce, tomato slices, a dollop of garlic sauce and the sweet potato wedges on the side.
