Eat | Thai halloumi burgers

Last night I played around with a new recipe. After my tests at the weekend I've been feeling a little under the weather, I've lost my appetite but I desperately need to keep eating as I lost so many calories at the weekend whilst fasting. If I want to keep my training schedule up this week, I need to replace everything that I lost.

Therefore I made Thai spice halloumi burgers.

 

I was lazy and used a pack I had picked up in Sainsbury’s last week. They had a great selection by Simon Rimmer, of vegetarian packs. I also picked up some gluten free pitta’s as I am trying to cut gluten out of my diet as often as I can.

 

I added the thai spice potato cake mix and chopped up halloumi into a bowl.

 

I added 220ml of boiling water and stirred.

 

 

Ensure mixture is bound together into dough. If needed add more water.

Form into patties and shallow fry in a wok.

And here was the finished result. My pitta’s unfortunately weren’t open in the middle otherwise I would have packed them with the burgers and lots of salad. So instead I served them alongside strips of pitta and some low fat over chips and salad (bowl not pictured). I really enjoyed these and the pack made enough for 6 patties, so I have frozen some for quick and easy meals.
