pumpkin and haloumi burgers
12 Sept 2012
I saw this recipe for pumpkin and haloumi burgers in September's Delicious magazine and they looked so appealing, I decided to give them a try. Have you noticed there's a bit of a pumpkin theme on the blog this week?
It was pretty easy to track down the ingredients. Haloumi cheese can be found in the dairy cabinet of most supermarkets or delis in Sydney these days. The zaatar and tahini I picked up at my local deli.
I served the burger with some of my home made faux chips topped with a mixture of zaatar and salt.
It's not tomato season here so trying to find a decent tomato that doesn't resemble an orange golf ball at a reasonable price has been challenging.
The verdict? The patties were just huge and a bit bland and tended to overpower the other burger ingredients. Next time I'd make 8 burger patties from the mix and dial up the seasoning. The best part - the zaatar topped faux chips. They were delicious and I'll definitely be making those again.
Time for me to go and do the dishes. I hope you've all had good weeks and I'll see you again next week,
