Halloumi Burger
Griddled halloumi slabs form the hero of this vegetarian burger, seared until golden and squeaky, then stacked on a toasted brioche bun with harissa mayo, roasted red pepper, arugula, and cucumber. Sweet-heat and salty flavours carry the sandwich, finished with a squeeze of lemon for brightness.

Instructions
1
Prep
Pat the halloumi slabs dry with paper towel, slice the cucumber, and slice the roasted red pepper so the cheese browns instead of steaming.
2
Whisk
Stir the mayonnaise and harissa together in a small bowl until evenly streaked orange and no white patches remain, about 30 seconds.
3
Toast
Toast the cut sides of the brioche bun in a dry pan over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes until golden and lightly crisp.
4
Sear
Add the olive oil to the same pan over medium heat and sear the halloumi for 2 to 3 minutes per side until deeply golden.
5
Plate
Spread harissa mayo on both bun halves, stack arugula, cucumber, halloumi, and roasted red pepper, squeeze lemon over, close, and serve immediately.
