Try these juicy and delicious Haloumi & Eggplant Burgers as a meat free BBQ option or when friends drop around to watch the footy.
Ingredients:
- 3 tbsps olive oil
- 1 eggplant, cut into 4 round slices around 2 cm thick
- 2 x 180g packs Lemnos Haloumi
- ½ cup good quality tomato relish
- 1 large ripe tomato, sliced
- 20g rocket or salad leaves, washed
- 4 bread rolls cut in half and toasted
Method:
- Cut the Lemnos Haloumi into quarters, first cutting it through the middle on the long side and then cutting each half in 2 thick slices so that you have 4 large flat slices of cheese from each block.
- In a large frying pan on a medium high heat, add the oil and fry the eggplant for a few minutes on each side until golden and tender. Remove the eggplant and cover with aluminium foil to keep warm.
- In the same pan, fry the pieces of Lemnos Haloumi on both sides until golden brown and keep warm with the eggplant.
- When you are ready to assemble the burgers, spread the base of each bread roll with relish, then top with the rocket leaves, eggplant slices, a couple of tomato slices and 2 slices of toasted haloumi.
Serve immediately.
