MEXICAN SPICED BEEF AND HALOUMI BURGERS
ON CRISPY SWEET POTATO BUNS
INGREDIENTS:
(SERVES 4)
​
-
4 cups ribboned sweet potato
-
1/4 cup coconut flour
-
1 egg
-
500g 5 star beef mince
-
1 tsp paprika
-
1 tsp coriander
-
1 tsp cumin
-
oregano
-
2 tsp minced garlic
-
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
-
cracked pepper
-
200g green beans
-
125g haloumi
-
tomato chutney (to serve)
-
olive oil
-
1/2 tsp salt
METHOD:
​
-
Ribbon the sweet potato using a vegetable peeler. Cook the sweet potato in 1tbs of olive oil until soft and slightly browned. Set aside to cool.
-
Add the coconut flour, salt, cracked pepper and egg to the sweet potato. Stir to combine and place in the fridge for 20 minutes.
-
In a mixing bowl, use hands to mix the beef and remaining spices. Divide into four and roll into balls. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
-
Place beef balls onto a pan in 1tbs of olive oil. Use a spatula to flatten into patties (about 1.5 cm high). Cook for approximately 20 minutes or until meat has browned.
-
Add the beans to the pan with the beef patties and continue to cook until the beans are crispy.
-
Divide the sweet potato mix into 8 handfuls of mixture.
-
Heat 1tbs of olive oil in a pan. Cook the sweet potato mix sections in the pan on a low-medium heat until crispy on both side. It will resemble a hash brown.
-
Before serving, thinly slice the haloumi and pan fry until golden on both side. This will only take a few minutes.
-
When the sweet potato buns, beans and beef patties are cooked, form burgers and fill with salad favourites!
