Ingredients

1 onion, finely chopped
1 carrot, grated
1 bunch mint, chopped
1 bunch parsley, chopped
1 x 250g pack halloumi cheese, grated
½ red pepper, finely chopped
Splash of light soy sauce
Salt and pepper
Splash of tabasco
2 handfuls of white or brown rice, cooked and cooled
3-4 slices of bread, whizzed into breadcrumbs
1 egg

Method

Start by frying the onion gently in a little olive oil until soft and translucent then set aside to cool.

Once cooled mix all the ingredients together – you should have a stiffish dough when you squash it in your hands. If not add more breadcrumbs.

Shape into burgers and either place on a tray in the freezer or fry gently in olive oil.

Nice served in a bap with lettuce, mayonnaise and chili jam or simply with a watercress salad and beetroot relish.

Alternatively serve with a salad of pea shoots and mixed leaves, sun blushed tomatoes and asparagus.
