Instructions
For the Garlic Yogurt Sauce
- Spoon the yogurt into a small bowl and stir in the pepper and garlic (start with half, taste and add more if desired). Set aside.
For the Halloumi Burgers
- Cut the halloumi into slices just under 1cm thick.
- Stir the cajun seasoning into the 2 teaspoon of oil and brush over the halloumi slices.
- Heat a non-stick pan on medium-high heat (if not non-stick add 2 teaspoon of oil). Once the pan is hot, lay the halloumi onto it and cook for 2 mins on each side or until seared. Turn and repeat on the other side.
To assemble the burgers
- Slice the burger buns in half and if desired toast them lightly.
- Spread a spoonful of the garlic yogurt sauce onto the bottom half and add slices of tomato and halloumi. Top with lettuce and the top of the bun. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Check your halloumi package that it is suitable for vegetarians if required, some may contain rennet (which isn't veggie).
- How you slice your halloumi will depend on the shape of your 'ball' of it. If it's smaller, use a few slices per person.
- Be sure to get the frying pan nice and hot, so the halloumi quickly sears and gets that lovely crispy crust.
- You can also barbecue, grill, griddle pan your halloumi, or stick it under the broiler. You want to get it hot, quickly!
- Halloumi is best served right away, however if you have leftover fried halloumi, then let it cool and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, put it in a frying pan over a medium/low heat and heat it slowly until the middle is warm. Reheating halloumi needs to be done slowly otherwise the outside will burn and the middle won't soften.
