  1. CARAMELISED ONION

    Place a pan over 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 (to taste). Remove from the pan, season, and cover.

  2. SKINNY FRIES

    Pat the potato matchsticks dry with paper towel. Place a pot over medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the potato matchsticks until golden and crispy, 7-10 minutes. Drain on paper towel and season.

  3. TOASTY BUN

    Halve the burger bun, and spread butter or oil over the cut side. Place a clean pan over medium heat. When hot, toast the bun, cut-side down, until golden, 1-2 minutes.

  4. CREAMY AVO

    Halve the avocado and set aside half for another meal. Peel the skin off, keeping the flesh intact. Thinly slice the avocado.

  5. CRISPY HALLOUMI

    Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the halloumi until crispy and golden, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel.

  6. ASSEMBLE

    Smear the bottom half of the bun with ½ the mayo. Top with the green leaves, the halloumi cheese, the caramelised onion, and the avo slices. Drizzle over the chimichurri sauce and scatter over the drained jalapeños. Close up the burger and side with the skinny fries. Serve the remaining mayo with the fries for dunking!
