PREP 20 MINS COOK 5 MINS SERVES 2 AS A MAIN

-

½ red cabbage, finely shredded 2 carrots, coarsely grated

100g radishes, trimmed, thinly

sliced into rounds

1 small bunch coriander, leaves

chopped

Juice of 2 limes

1 Tbsp olive oil

Pinch chilli flakes

Freshly ground black pepper 1 Tbsp chipotle sauce

60g salt-reduced haloumi,

cut into 4 slices

2 small slices fresh pineapple 2 small (35g each) seeded burger buns or gluten-free buns, cut in half, to serve 1 Preheat barbecue grill or plate on medium-high. Put the cabbage, carrot, radish and coriander in a bowl. Pour over the lime juice. Add 2 tsp oil, the chilli flakes and pepper. Give everything a good mix with your hands. Place in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to use (can be made a few hours ahead).

2 Mix remaining oil with chipotle sauce in a small bowl. Coat haloumi slices in the mixture. Put haloumi slices on a sheet of foil and put on the barbecue with pineapple

(or use a searing hot chargrill if cooking inside). Cook for 2 minutes on each side until cheese is golden, and the pineapple is beginning to caramelise. Brush buns with remaining chipotle oil, then place the burger buns, if using, cut-side down, on the barbecue for the last 30 seconds of cooking to toast. 3 Assemble your burgers with the buns. Start with a handful of the slaw, then add haloumi and pineapple. Serve with the remaining slaw on the side.
