Quick Mediterranean Beef, Bacon & Haloumi Burger
with Caramelised Onion, Truffle Mayo & Pear Salad
We’re so excited about this burger, with crispy chunks of squeaky level-one haloumi, bacon, creamy herby mayo and a side of golden potato wedges. Let’s just say, you won’t need the local pub’s menu on hand when you’ve got this recipe under your belt.

Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Thinly slice pear (see ingredients). Slice tomato into rounds. • In a medium bowl, combine beef mince, fine breadcrumbs (see ingredients), the egg and garlic & herb seasoning. Season with salt and pepper. • Shape beef mixture into 2cm-thick patties (one per person).

• Thinly slice onion. • In a medium frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until browned, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a plate. • Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook onion, stirring, until softened, 5-6 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium. Add the balsamic vinegar, a splash of water and the brown sugar and mix well. Cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.
• Meanwhile, slice haloumi horizontally to get 1 piece per person. • In a large frying pan, heat drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook patties until just cooked through, 4-5 minutes each side (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). Transfer to a plate. • Wipe out the frying pan and return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook haloumi until golden brown, 1-2 minutes each side. • Meanwhile, halve burger buns and bake directly on a wire oven rack until heated through, 2-3 minutes.
• In a second medium bowl, combine mixed salad leaves, pear and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste. • Slice burger buns in half. Spread the bases with Italian truffle mayonnaise. • Top with a beef patty, bacon, some haloumi, tomato and caramelised onion. Serve with pear salad. Enjoy!
