    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 In a small bowl combine tahini dressing ingredients. Set aside.

    2 In a large bowl add haloumi, peas, spinach, courgette, mint, garlic, pepper and half the grated carrot. Tip all into a clean tea towel and squeeze to remove excess juice. Return to bowl. Add egg and stir to combine.

    3 Spray a non-stick frying pan and set over a medium heat. Drop in large spoonfuls of the haloumi mix and fry on each side until the haloumi has melted and holds the vegetables together. Use a spatula to carefully press them into shape while frying. They should be golden on both sides.

    4 Serve patties in burger buns with a dollop of tahini dressing, pea sprouts, remaining grated carrot, avocado, radish and lettuce.

    Variations

    Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free burger buns and check tahini is gluten free.

    HFG tip

    Patties and dressing can be refrigerated for 3-5 days.
