Ready in: 25 minutes

Makes: 4 burgers

Ingredients

4 tbsp olive oil
500g halloumi (Usually two blocks)
50g plain flour
1 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper

To serve
4 Becketts’ Bakery brioche buns
Tracklements Zingy Burger Sauce
1 avocado, peeled and sliced
¼ cucumber, sliced
2 large Evesham tomatoes
1 red onion, peeled and sliced
4 lettuce leaves

Method

Pour the olive oil into a large frying pan and place over a medium heat.

Cut each halloumi block in half horizontally to make square burgers then pat dry with a paper towel. This will ensure that the halloumi turns crispy when coated and fried.

Next, mix the flour, smoked paprika, salt and pepper on a plate. Coat each halloumi piece in the flour mix, making sure each side is evenly covered.

Once coated, place each halloumi burger in the hot oil for around 5 minutes on each side, until golden and crisp. While cooking, try not to move them around too much so not to disturb the coating.

Finally, assemble the burgers. Slice the brioche buns and stack the lettuce, tomato, cucumber, avocado and onion inside, then place the halloumi on top. Drizzle with the Tracklements zingy burger sauce then place the brioche lid on top and serve immediately.
