Ingredients

– 2 thick slices of halloumi cheese
– 1 ripe pineapple, cut into rings
– 2 burger buns (preferably whole grain or brioche)
– 2 cups coleslaw mix (cabbage, carrots, etc.)
– ½ cup mayonnaise

– ½ teaspoon cumin

– Olive oil for grilling


Instructions

Creating your Spiced Halloumi & Pineapple Burger with Zingy Slaw is easy when you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Slaw: In a bowl, mix the coleslaw mix, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.

2. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

3. Season the Halloumi: In a small bowl, combine smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Coat the halloumi slices with olive oil and sprinkle the spice mix on both sides.

4. Grill the Pineapple: Place the pineapple rings on the grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side until caramelized and slightly charred. Remove and set aside.

5. Grill the Halloumi: Grill the spiced halloumi slices for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown and soft.

6. Toast the Buns: Optionally, place the burger buns (cut side down) on the grill for about 1 minute until slightly crispy and toasted.

7. Assemble the Burger: On the bottom half of each bun, layer grilled halloumi, a grilled pineapple ring, and a generous portion of zingy slaw.

8. Garnish: Top with fresh cilantro or parsley for a burst of color and flavor. Place the top half of the bun over the stack.

9. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your perfectly assembled Spiced Halloumi & Pineapple Burger with Zingy Slaw!
