1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Place mushrooms on prepared tray, gill-side up. Combine half the olive oil with garlic, then brush over mushrooms. Roast for 20 minutes or until golden and tender.

2 Meanwhile, heat remaining olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10–12 minutes or until just golden. Add vinegar and cook, stirring, for a further 2 minutes or until caramelised. Set aside.

3 Heat a medium non-stick frying pan over high heat and lightly spray with oil. Add haloumi and cook for 1–2 minutes each side or until golden.

4 Place a lettuce cup on each serving plate. Layer each cup with haloumi, tomato slices and roasted mushroom, then serve topped with carrot, avocado slices and caramelised onions.
