Panko Portabello & Halloumi Burger

This isn't one of those cop out meat-free burger recipes. Incredibly meaty and delicious in it's own right - this burger really is something special.

Ingredients:

Burger:

- 2 Portobello mushrooms
- 100g Plain Flour
- 2 Eggs
- l00g Panko Breadcrumbs
- 3 tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 Slice of Halloumi
- 2 Brioche buns
- Barbecue sauce (We will be posting a recipe soon!)

Kale Slaw:

- 1 Carrot
- 250g Kale
- 1 Red onion
- 2 tbsp White wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 2 tsp White Sugar
- 1 tsp Chilli Flakes

How To Do The Thing:

1. Set up a breading station for the mushroom with 3 plates; flour, egg, and breadcrumbs. Coat the mushroom in flour, then the egg, and finally the breadcrumbs.

2. To make the slaw firstly remove tough stalks from your kale. Grate the carrot and julienne the red onion into short thin slices. In a bowl mix together the mayonnaise, white wine vinegar, chilli flakes and sugar. Pour over the vegetables and use your hands to crunch the kale, helping it to break down. Leave to sit for at least 15 minutes.

3. Add the oil to a frying pan on medium-high heat. Fry the breaded mushroom in the oil until golden brown on both sides. Heat a griddle pan on max heat and cook the halloumi until char lines appear.

4. Assemble the burger by adding a handful of the slaw on the bottom slice of brioche, followed by the breaded mushroom, halloumi, and finally a dollop of barbecue sauce. Tuck in!
