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:

​

  1. 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.

  2. Add the coconut flour, salt, cracked pepper and egg to the sweet potato. Stir to combine and place in the fridge for 20 minutes.

  3. In a mixing bowl, use hands to mix the beef and remaining spices. Divide into four and roll into balls. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. 

  4. 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.

  5. Add the beans to the pan with the beef patties and continue to cook until the beans are crispy.

  6. Divide the sweet potato mix into 8 handfuls of mixture.

  7. 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.

  8. Before serving, thinly slice the haloumi and pan fry until golden on both side. This will only take a few minutes.

  9. When the sweet potato buns, beans and beef patties are cooked, form burgers and fill with salad favourites!
