Halloumi & Bacon Burger With Wedges And Smoky Tomato Relish

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7 and boil a full kettle

Cut your potatoes (skins on) into wedges and add them to a baking tray (or two!) with a drizzle of vegetable oil

Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and sprinkle over your dried oregano, then put the tray[s] in the oven for 20-25 min or until the wedges are golden and crispy

Meanwhile, slice your halloumi in half, lengthways (like you're slicing a burger bun!)

Add 500ml [750ml] [1L] boiled water to a wide-based deep pan and bring to the boil over a high heat, then once boiling, reduce the heat to medium, add the halloumi half[ves] and cook for 5-6 min or until softened

Add your smoked streaky bacon to a separate baking paper-lined baking tray (or two!) and put the tray[s] in the oven for 12-15 min or until golden and crispy

Meanwhile, chop your tomato[es] finely

Peel your garlic and chop in half, discard the skin

Chop (or grate) half the garlic finely (you'll use the rest later!)

Heat a pot with a generous drizzle of olive oil over a medium heat

Once hot, add the chopped tomatoes, chopped garlic, your ground smoked paprika and half your red wine vinegar (save the rest for later!) and cook for 2-3 min or until the tomato is starting to break down

Add 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] sugar and 2 tbsp [3 tbsp] [4 tbsp] water and increase the heat to medium-high

Cook for 5-8 min or until thickened to a chutney-like consistency – this is your smoky tomato relish

Once softened, drain and pat the halloumi half[ves] dry with kitchen paper (save the pan!)

Using a rolling pin, flatten the halloumi half[ves] into a similar size as the ciabatta – this is your halloumi steak[s]

Slice your ciabatta[s] in half, add to a separate baking tray (or two!) and drizzle with olive oil

Put the tray[s] in the oven for 4 min or until slightly crispy, then remove from the oven and leave to cool

Combine the remaining red wine vinegar with 2 tbsp [3 tbsp] [4 tbsp] olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper– this is your dressing

Once cooled, rub the remaining garlic into the crispy ciabatta

Once the potato wedges are nearly cooked, return the wide-based pan to a medium-high heat

Once hot, add the halloumi steak[s] to the pan and cook for 1-2 min on each side or until golden

Meanwhile, wash your salad, then pat it dry with kitchen paper and toss it in the dressing
