Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
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
Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium, add the halloumi half[ves] and cook for 5-6 min or until softened
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
To assemble, fill the garlicky ciabatta with the halloumi steak and top with the smoky tomato relish and a handful of dressed salad – this is your halloumi burger
Serve the remaining dressed salad, any remaining smoky tomato relish and the wedges to the side
Enjoy!
