GO! :: Instructions

1. For The Burgers: throw all of the burger ingredients (a part from the meat and egg) in your food processor and whiz to chop. 
2. Add to a large bowl with the ground beef and egg and use your hands to mix together until well combined. 
3. Divide the mixture into 4 patties, place on lined oven tray and bake in the oven for 20 mins.
4. For The Basil Sauce: add the fresh basil to a pestle & mortar and mash until softened then add the sour cream, lemon juice, salt and pepper and mix together with a fork, set aside.
5. For The Fries: meanwhile, using a sharp knife, cut the halloumi into fries and coat in the cajun spice. 
6. Heat coconut oil in a large skillet until hot and add the halloumi (they want to sizzle). Cook for 5 mins until crisp and golden, then drain on kitchen paper.
7. To Serve: slice each side of the iceberg lettuce so you’re left with a square centre - the sliced rounds create the burger “buns” so you need to you have 8 rounds. Serve up the 4 burger patties on lettuce “buns” topped with a slice of tomato and a dollop of the Basil Sauce. Add halloumi fries to the side & enjoy!

DAIRY-FREE: substitute the sauce for keto mayonnaise & the halloumi for avocado
