Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7
Chop your potatoes (skins on) into bite-sized pieces, then add the chopped potatoes to a baking tray (or two!) with your ras el hanout, a drizzle of vegetable oil and a pinch of salt and pepper
Give everything a good mix up and put the tray[s] in the oven for 25-30 min or until golden and crisp – these are your ras el hanout roasties

Meanwhile, peel and grate half your red onion[s]
Cut the remaining onion into wedges
Add your lean beef mince to a bowl with the grated onion, ground coriander, half your ground cumin (save the rest for later!) and a generous pinch of salt
Using clean hands, give everything a good mix up until fully combined, then roll the burger mixture into 1 meatball per person and press down with your hands to form a patty – this is your lean beef kofta patty

Chop your Tenderstem broccoli in half
Add the onion wedges to one side of a baking tray lined with tin foil with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper
Put the tray in the oven for an initial 10 min or until the onion is beginning to soften
While the onion is in the oven, cut your green chilli[es] in half lengthways, deseed (scrape the seeds out with a teaspoon) and chop finely

Chop your coriander and parsley roughly, including the stalks and cut your lemon[s] in half
Add the chopped chilli (not a fan of spice? Just add a little!), chopped parsley and coriander to a pestle & mortar with a small pinch of salt and grind to a paste
Add 1 tbsp [1 1/2 tbsp] [2 tbsp] olive oil, the juice of the lemon[s] and the remaining ground cumin and stir it all together – this is your zhoug

Slice your brioche bun[s] in half
Cut your halloumi in half, lengthways (like you're slicing a burger bun!)
After the initial 10 min, remove the tray with the onion from the oven and add the chopped Tenderstem and halved halloumi with a little drizzle of olive oil
Return the tray to the oven for a final 12 min or until the halloumi is beginning to brown and the Tenderstem is charred and crispy

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) over a medium heat and add the brioche halves, cut-side down, and cook for 2 min or until toasted and charred
Set aside until serving, reserving the pan
Wash your salad, then pat it dry with kitchen paper

Return the reserved pan to a high heat with a drizzle of vegetable oil, then once hot, add the lean beef kofta patty[ies], press down firmly with a spatula and cook for 5 min on one side
Tip: Cooking for 5? You may need to do this in batches!
Flip the patty[ies] and reduce the heat to medium-high and cook for 5 min further until cooked through and charred (no pink meat!)

Spread the toasted brioche base with your mayo, then add the lean beef kofta patty, a baked halloumi slice, a big dollop of zhoug (save a little for the salad!) and a toasted brioche lid – this is your Moroccan-style lean beef kofta & halloumi burger
Serve the salad to the side with the charred Tenderstem and roasted red onion wedges and drizzle over the remaining zhoug
Serve the ras el hanout roasties to the side and enjoy!
