Directions
Tomato Relish
*Good to make a few hours beforehand so it can cool down!
- In a pot sweat off onion and chilli over a medium heat untill the onion begins to soften
- Add in the tomatoes & cook off for another 3-5 minutes
- Add in the vinegar, sugar, salt & pepper & sir to combine
- Reduce the heat to a simmer and leave the mixture till thick & jammy, approximately 30-40 minutes
- Remove from heat & allow to cool
Harissa
- To prepare the capsicum wash them, pat dry & then rub with a little oil and place on a lined baking tray. Place in a 180 degree oven for 15 – 20 minutes until they begin to blacken and skin appears to be wrinkling
- Remove the capsicum from the oven and place in a large bowl and cover with glad wrap completely to allow to soften/sweat for 5-10 minutes
- Once the capsicum has softened you should be able to easily peel off blistered/charred skin & discard the seeds, stalk & any excess pith. Place the capsicum in a food processor with the coriander, chilli & garlic and blitz till smooth
*If you don’t have a food processor you can finely chop the capsicum, coriander, chilli and garlic & combine in a bowl
Lamb Patties
- Take a large bowl and mix through the lamb mince, Ras El Hanout, italian parsley, and crushed garlic
- Season with a pinch of salt and pepper
- Roll out and flatten to make 4 x 2cm thick patties
- Heat canola oil in a large pan and cook the patties for approx 4/5 minutes on either side or until they are cooked through. Leave to rest for at least 2-4 mins.
Assemble the Burger
- Cut the buns in half, butter them and then toast under the grill for a few seconds.
- Add 1-heaped TBSP of tomato relish to the bottom of the bun & top with lamb patty
- Heat some oil in a pan and fry the halloumi for a few seconds on either side till it begins to melt
- Top the patty with the grilled halloumi, 1 TBSP harissa (you can always add more if you prefer) & a handful of rocket
- Spread the top of the bun evenly with mayo and pop it on top of your creation.
- Enjoy!
