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!
