CRISPY FRIES
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Rinse the potato fries in cold water and pat dry with paper towel. Spread out on a roasting tray. Coat generously in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until cooked through and crisping up, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
TOAST & MARINATE
Place the almonds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside. In a bowl, add the tomato rounds, the oregano, the grated garlic (to taste), and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss and let sit until serving.
CARAMELISATION STATION
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the sliced onion until caramelised, 8-10 minutes (shifting occasionally). At the halfway mark, add a sweetener. Remove from the pan, season, and cover.
BUTTERED BUNS
Spread butter or oil over the cut-side of the halved bun. Place a pan over medium heat. When hot, toast the bun, cut-side down, until golden, 1-2 minutes.
ALMOST THERE...
Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the halloumi patty until crispy and golden, 1-2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towel. In a salad bowl, add the vinegar, a drizzle of oil, and 1 tsp of sweetener. Add ½ of the rinsed green leaves, the toasted almonds, toss together and set aside.
GREEK FEAST
Smear the tzatziki on the bottom half of the bun. Layer with the remaining green leaves, the marinated tomatoes, the halloumi patty, and the caramelised onions. Close it all up with the remaining bun half. Pile the crispy fries and the nutty salad on the side, with the remaining tzatziki for dipping. Serve with any remaining fillings on the side. Scrumptious!
