Grill up some happiness with a halloumi burger
Grilled halloumi is the perfect choice if you’re looking for a hamburger alternative. This grilled ‘cheese burger’ with a twist is not just for vegetarians but is a taste enjoyed by food lovers all over the world. What’s more, its rich and distinct texture make it perfect for grilling and frying – all the things needed to make the perfect burger to share with friends (and for snapping on Instagram)!
Halloumi origins
Halloumi is a classic Eastern Mediterranean cheese made by mixing goat’s and sheep’s milk. It’s believed to have originated in Cyprus many centuries ago and is a staple of many dishes in the region to this day. While it can be served as a standalone dish hot or cold, it’s more commonly served as a tasty complement to salads or a meat alternative in dishes such as pastas, pizzas and burgers. Today, you’ll find halloumi across most local supermarkets worldwide.
Delicious and unique side dishes
Halloumi burgers can be served up just like any other burger – with a whole range of side options to choose from.
If you’re looking for something light, sides such as green salads, bean salads, potato salads and coleslaws can offer the perfect crunch to go with your halloumi burger.
For a heartier meal, traditional burger sides such as fries, potato wedges and onion rings go just as well with halloumi. You can even try varieties such as oven baked root vegetable fries or sweet potato fries.
Sauce it up with these flavour combinations
Halloumi has a mild taste which means it goes well with a whole range of sauces and seasonings – the only limit is your personal taste!
Traditional burger condiments such as ketchup and mayo are popular choices. If you would like to add more smoke and taste, try serving your halloumi with BBQ sauce, ranch dressing or Thousand Island dressing. If you would like to add a touch of heat, hot sauce, sriracha and even a splash of tabasco are a great way to spice things up!
