Cooking Steps

BAKE THE POTATO
1

Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Slice the potato (unpeeled) into 1 cm thick wedges. Place the potato on the oven tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat and place in the oven to bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and tender.

Make the onion jam
2

While the potatoes are baking, finely slice the brown onion. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a medium frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the brown onion and cook, stirring, for 5-6 minutes, or until soft. Add the warm water (check ingredients list for the amount), brown sugar and 1/2 of the balsamic vinegar, and simmer until the liquid is nearly evaporated and the mixture is slightly sticky. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Cook the haloumi
3

Slice the haloumi (use suggested amount) lengthways into 2 cm pieces (you should get 2 pieces per person). Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a second medium pan over a medium-high heat. TIP: Haloumi releases liquid as it cooks so don't add too much olive oil! Add the haloumi and cook for 2 minutes on one side, or until golden on the bottom. Carefully flip and cook for a further 1 minute on the other side, or until browned.

Warm the buns
4

While the haloumi is cooking, place the bake-at-home burger buns directly onto the wire racks in the oven and cook for 3 minutes, or until heated through. Slice in half.

Finely slice the tomato**.

Dress the salad leaves
5

In a medium bowl, toss the mixed salad leaves (reserve some for the burgers) with the remaining balsamic vinegar and olive oil (1 tbs for 2 people / 2 tbs for 4 people). Season to taste with a pinch of salt and pepper. TIP: Dress your salad just before serving to prevent soggy leaves.

Serve up
6

Divide the burger buns between plates and spread a dollop of the traditional pesto on the base. Top with a handful of mixed salad leaves, a tomato slice, the grilled haloumi and a dollop of the caramelised onion jam. Serve with potato wedges on the side.
