Ingredients
1 tomato
½ red onion
250g halloumi cheese
4 burger buns
rocket or lettuce leaves
tomato salsa, hummus or tomato ketchup
Method
First very carefully slice the tomato so that you have four round slices. Tomatoes are more difficult to slice than you would think as the knife can slip on the shiny skin. Ask an adult to help you with this.
If you find red onion too strong a flavour you do not have to include it on your burgers. If you do want to use it, carefully slice 8 semicircular slices from the half an onion.
Cut each burger bun in two if they are not cut already.
Wash the leaves and pat them dry.
Carefully slice the block of halloumi into 8 slices. Place the slices onto your grill and ask an adult to grill them at a medium heat until they are golden. This will take two or three minutes. Use a kitchen-tongs to turn each slice over and grill it until that side is golden too.
Spread your tomato salsa, hummus or tomato ketchup onto the bottom bun. Place some leaves, a slice of tomato and two slices of onions on top. Put two slices of halloumi on top then add a few more leaves. You can add mayonnaise to the burger as well if you like.
