Instructions

Before you start

  1. Preheat the oven to 220 °C or 210 °C fan bake. Line an oven tray with baking paper.

Make wedges

  1. Slice the unpeeled 800 g potatoes into wedges and toss them on the prepared oven tray with 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp barbecue seasoning. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 20-25 minutes, until tender. Turn once during cooking.

Make pickle beetroot

  1. Combine 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar and 2 tsp honey in a small bowl with a pinch of salt. Peel and julienne 1 beetroot and toss with the vinegar and honey mixture. Set aside to marinate, tossing occasionally. (Or you can blend it all together with a blender for a relish).

Prep haloumi patties

  1. Pat 400 g haloumi dry and slice into 1cm thick patties. Season with salt and pepper. Add ¼ cup flour to a plate or shallow bowl. Whisk 1 egg in a separate shallow bowl and combine 1 cup panko breadcrumbs and 1 tbsp black sesame seeds on a separate plate. Coat the haloumi patties in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg to coat and then press them into the breadcrumbs firmly to coat.

Toast buns

  1. Meanwhile, cut 4 burger buns in half. When the wedges have 5 minutes of cooking time remaining, place the buns on an oven tray above the wedges and cook for about 5 minutes, until heated through.

Cook haloumi patties

  1. Then heat 15 ml olive oil in a large frypan on medium heat. Cook the haloumi for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy. Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.

Prep fillings

  1. Thinly slice 2 tomato into rounds. Thinly slice or julienne 1/2 iceberg lettuce.

To serve

  1. Spread the buns with mayonnaise. Fill with the lettuce, crispy-crumbed haloumi, tomato and top with the pickled beetroot. Serve the barbecue wedges on the side.
