Ingredients
- 400 g potatoes cut into wedges
- 15 g coriander finely chopped including stalks
- ⅛ red onion finely chopped
- ½ chilli finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove crushed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tablespoon vinegar red wine or rice
- 50 ml mayonnaise
- 225 g halloumi
- 2 brioche buns
- 2 large lettuce leaves shredded
- 1 small tomato sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C Fan. Spread your potatoes in a single layer on a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 35-40 minutes.
- In the meantime, shred your lettuce and slice tomatoes. Set aside for later.
- To make chimichurri mayonnaise, put finely chopped coriander, red onion, chilli and crushed garlic in a pestle and mortar (or a food processor), add a tablespoon of olive oil and bash to create a rough paste. Scoop out into a small bowl, add a tablespoon of vinegar and mayonnaise. Mix well and set aside.
- Drain your halloumi and cut into two flat patties. Put them in a frying pan (no need to add oil) and cover with a lid. Cook on low heat for 5 minutes to soften it, then remove from the pan and place on a chopping board. Using a rolling pin flatten your halloumi halves to the size of your brioche buns or slightly larger.
- Return flattened halloumi halves to the pan and fry on medium heat for 1-2 minutes, then flip and fry again. Halloumi should brown and crisp up a little.
- In the meantime, cut your brioche in half and place in the oven for a couple of minutes to toast.
- To assemble, arrange shredded lettuce and tomato slices on the bottom half of your brioche buns. Add halloumi halves and spoon a generous amount of chimichurri mayo on top. Cover with the brioche dome and serve with crispy potato wedges.
