Crispy Halloumi Burger with Amba and Sumac Mayo
Sometimes I get carried away and it has to be really cool junk food. I need a burger and preferably a big portion of crispy fries to go with it. Since I’ve been cutting back on my meat consumption more and more lately and have been looking into vegetarian and vegan alternatives, I created this really great Crispy Halloumi Burger with two delicious sauces.
Bistro Badia’s Crispy Halloumi Burger
I am proud to present the first Burger by Bistro Badia! A burger not only for all vegetarians, but also for all cheese lovers and people who are sick of meat. But watch out! Just because it’s a vegetarian burger doesn’t mean that calories are being cut. (But sometimes it just has to be hot and greasy, doesn’t it?) The halloumi patty is nicely deep-fried in hot oil until the breading is crispy and has turned a golden brown colour. To my surprise, this was quicker than getting your food at the drive-in. And the crowning glory: the squeak of the halloumi! No, all joking aside. It’s the delicious sauces.
Away with ketchup and co.
You can safely leave ketchup and “normal” mayo in the cupboard for the Cripsy Halloumi Burger. For the burger we use the fruity and spicy mango sauce from Levante: Amba! And we spice up the mayo with parsley, mint and a good portion of sumac. The result is a burger experience that you’ve definitely never had before. The burger is crispy, juicy, fruity and, thanks to the sumac and herb mayo, unfolds the special flavour of the Levant. Well, is your mouth watering already?
