Servings: 2 burgers
Equipment
Ingredients
- 200 g block of halloumi
- 2 tbsp plain gluten free flour
- 1 tsp paprika
- 0.25 tsp garlic granules
- 1 tbsp oil (for frying)
To serve the burgers:
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise (I use light mayo)
- 0.5 lime (juice only)
- 1 handful finely chopped coriander (cilantro)
- 1 tsp garlic paste
- Hot Honey
- Tomatoes (sliced)
- Lettuce Leaves
- Red Onion (sliced)
- Gluten Free Burger Buns
Instructions
- Cut the halloumi block in half to create two thick slices. Place the slices in a large bowl, cover with boiling water and leave to soak for 15-20 minutes.
- Mix the gluten free flour, paprika and garlic granules together and then spread out on a plate.
- Remove the halloumi from the water and blot dry with some kitchen towel to dry. Coat the halloumi slices on all sides with the flour mix, pressing it in to ensure it's completely coated.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan on a medium heat and once hot add the halloumi. Fry for 3-4 minutes, carefully turn the halloumi over and fry for another 3-4 minutes. It should be crispy and golden on both sides.
- Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise, lime juice, chopped coriander and garlic paste together to make the sauce.
- Stack the cooked halloumi burgers in your gluten free burger buns topped with a drizzle of hot honey, lettuce, tomatoes, red onion and a good slather of the lime and coriander mayo. Serve straight away.
Notes
- Storage: These halloumi burgers are definitely best eaten fresh. You can keep any leftovers in the fridge for 24 hours and reheat them in a pan, but I'd recommend eating them hot and freshly cooked. The halloumi will harden when it goes cold.
