Ingredients
- 225 g halloumi (£2.70)
- 4 tbsp Sweet chilli sauce (add to each bun) (£1.00)
- 500 g 1 pot Greek yogurt (£0.48)
- 1 beef tomato, sliced into rounds (£0.75)
- 3 mixed peppers, cut in thick slices (£1.35)
- 4 sesame buns (£1.20)
- 150 gram Wild rocket (£0.80
- ½ cucumber sliced (£0.48)
- 1 lime £0.30
Cupboard Essential
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 392° F (200°C)
- Place the sliced peppers on a baking tray with a little olive oil. Season with salt and set the timer for 30 to 40 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the Tzatziki by combining the yogurt, grated cucumber, the juice of half a lime and a generous pinch of salt.
- Slice the halloumi into thin pieces and fry each side with a little olive oil for a couple of minutes to brown.
- When the peppers have 10 minutes left, toast the sesame buns in a non stick frying pan over a high heat for 2 minutes.
- Once the peppers have charred nicely. Assemble the burger in this order (I spent way too long thinking of this, but it’s essential so just roll with it). Bottom sesame bun, tablespoon of sweet chilli, peppers, halloumi, tomato, Tzatziki, rocket, top bun. Enjoy!
Notes
- Fry halloumi until golden-brown for crispy texture and enhanced taste.
- Toast burger buns for added crunch and to prevent sogginess.
- Choose toppings that complement halloumi's flavours, like lettuce, tomatoes, roasted peppers, and tangy sauces. Serve immediately for optimal enjoyment.
