Pack four of your 5-a-day into these tasty veggie burgers with barbecued halloumi. Wrap in lettuce cups instead of buns for a healthy, low-calorie option.

Method

Based on 2 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Put the cabbage, carrot, radish and coriander in a bowl. Pour over the lime juice, add a little oil and the chilli flakes, then season with salt and pepper. Give everything a good mix with your hands. This can be done a few hours before and kept in the fridge.

Step 2

Preheat the grill to 200°C. Mix a little oil with the chipotle paste then coat the halloumi slices in the mixture. Put the halloumi slices and the sliced pineapple onto a sheet of foil and place it on a tray. Cook for 2 mins on each side until the cheese is golden and the pineapple is beginning to caramelise. Brush the buns with the remaining chipotle oil, then put your burger buns, cut-side up under the grill for 10-30 seconds to lightly toast. You can also use a griddle pan, rather than the grill if you prefer.

Step 3

Assemble your burgers. Start with a handful of the slaw, then add halloumi and pineapple. Serve with the remaining slaw.
