Lactose-Free Halloumi Burger

Directions

1. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Brush the halloumi slices on both sides with the marinade and let them sit for about 5-10 minutes to soak up the flavours.

2. Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the halloumi slices for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden and crispy on the outside. You can also grill them for a smoky flavour if you prefer.

3. Lightly toast the burger buns in the skillet or oven until they are golden and slightly crisp.

4. On the bottom half of each bun, layer a couple of lettuce leaves, followed by a cooked slice of halloumi. Top with tomato slices, red onion, pickled cucumbers (if using), and fresh parsley. Spread ketchup or your preferred lactose-free sauce on the top half of the bun.

5. Place the top bun on the assembled ingredients, press down lightly, and serve immediately.
