SWEET POTATO WEDGES
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the sweet potato wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 30-35 minutes (shifting halfway). Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy, 20-25 minutes (shifting halfway.)
PICKLED VEG & SALAD
In a bowl, combine the vinegar, 15ml of water, and 5ml of sweetener. Mix until the sweetener is fully dissolved. Add the cucumber ribbons, ½ the chopped dill, and ¼ of the sliced onions. Toss until fully coated and set aside. In a separate bowl, combine the halved tomatoes, the sliced olives, the crumbled feta, seasoning, and a drizzle of oil. Set aside.
CARAMELISED ONION
Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the remaining sliced onion until caramelised, 8-12 minutes (shifting occasionally). At the halfway mark, add a sweetener. Remove from the pan, season, and cover.
PERFECT PATTIES
In a bowl, combine the mince, the diced onion (to taste), the NOMU rub, and seasoning. Wet your hands slightly and shape the mince mixture into 3 mini patties, about 1cm thick. Set aside.
INTO THE FRYING PAN
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the patties until browned and cooked to your preference, 2-4 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and season.
BUTTERY BUNS
Spread butter (optional) or oil over the cut-side of the halved buns. Return the pan, wiped down, to medium heat. When hot, toast the buns cut-side down until golden, 1-2 minutes.
GORGEOUS GREEK FOOD
Plate up the toasted slider buns and top with the burger patties, the caramelised onion, and the pickled cucumber & onions. Smear the top bun halves with the tzatziki and then close them up. Side with the sweet potato wedges and the tomato & olive salsa (tossed with any remaining pickled veg). Sprinkle over the remaining chopped dill. Delish work, Chef!
