INGREDIENTS

Burger buns, in this case brioche buns were used
Large Portabello mushrooms
Halloumi Cheese
Sweet Chilli Jam or sauce
mixed salad leaves
Garlic Butter
Olive Oil
Salt, herbs and freshly ground pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat a barbecue or griddle pan. Cut the Burger Buns in half, then toast, cut-side down; set aside.
Mix the lemon zest and juice with the thyme, the 3 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic and seasoning to make a marinade.
Griddle or barbecue the mushrooms over a moderate heat, stalk-side down for 5-7 minutes, then flip over and spoon over the Butter and continue to cook for 5-7 minutes or until tender. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
Drizzle the rest of the olive oil over the halloumi. Return your griddle pan to the heat and, when piping hot, add the slices of halloumi and cook for about 1 minute each side until dark golden griddle marks appear.
Spread the base of each roll with chilli Jam. Add a couple of slices of halloumi, a garlic mushroom and a pile of salad leaves to each one and serve.

Ingredients

8 oz or 225 g whole white mushrooms
2 cloves of garlic minced
2 tablespoons of Cream Cheese. you can also use low fat variety
1 teaspoon of fresh or dry herbs such as tarragon, basil, parsley
salt & pepper
1 teaspoon of Olive Oil

Instructions

Heat a pan with a teaspoon of oil and add the mushrooms and garlic on medium heat. Stir and toss until soft and a little liquid is released from the mushrooms. If the mushrooms do not release any liquid, add a couple of tablespoons of milk.
Then add the cream cheese and combine. Add the herbs and taste, season to your taste with salt and pepper.
TIP: To avoid the cream cheese from splitting, you should make sure the heat is not too hot, if you are not sure, remove the pan from the heat whilst you add the cream cheese, combine well, then return to a gentle heat until the sauce is bubbling gently and heated through completely. As you will know, any cream products have a tendency to split or curdle if you add them to any high temperatures, so do not turn the heat up!!
Serve straight from the pan, or you can transfer to an oven dish and place in the oven (covered) to keep warm until you are ready to serve.

Cook time 20 minutes.
