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,

Hi,
ReplyDeleteCan you please provide a link to your faux chips recipe? Kindest thanks!
No real recipe as such. I cook the whole peeled potatoes in the microwave for 3 minutes or you could parboil them and drain well. I preheat the oven to 200C and place a small amount of oil, about a tablespoon, in a baking tin and heat that for about ten minutes. I cut the potatoes into wedges and place them into the preheated tin coating them in the oil. I spray the whole lot with some olive oil spray before seasoning. I then roast the potatoes in the oven for 1 hour, turning every 20 minutes and respraying once more with the olive oil spray. After 1 hour they should be nice and brown and ready to be eaten. With these chippies I sprinkled some za'atar over the top once they came out of the oven and they were very tasty.
