Ingredients

- 50ml honey
- 1 small jalapeño, deseeded and finely chopped
- ½ tsp apple cider vinegar
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika
- 4 tbsp sunflower oil
- 4 burger buns, halved
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 3 tbsp panko breadcrumbs
- 250g block halloumi, cut into 8 thick slices
- 50g garlic mayonnaise

For the salsa:

- ½ whole pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into 6 spears
- 2 spring onions, finely sliced
- Small handful of coriander, finely chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 tsp mild chilli powder

For the coleslaw:

- Small handful of parsley, finely chopped
- 1 - 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- ¼ red cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 large carrot, grated or cut into thin matchsticks
- 2 shallots, thinly sliced
- 10 radishes, grated or cut into thin matchsticks

Method

1. First, make the hot honey. Tip the honey and jalapeños into a small pan over a medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 - 4 minutes until the honey has thinned out and been infused with the jalapeño flavour. Stir in the vinegar and smoked paprika, remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.

2. To make the salsa, heat a griddle or frying pan over medium - high heat. Brush the pineapple spears all over with a little of the oil and fry for 4 - 6 minutes on each side until charred. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly, then chop into small cubes. Mix with the remaining salsa ingredients and season to taste.

3. For the coleslaw, mix the ingredients together in a bowl and season well, adding a splash more vinegar if needed. Heat 2 tbsp of the sunflower oil in a frying pan over medium heat and toast the burger buns, cut-side down, for 2 - 3 minutes until golden. Remove from the pan and set aside.

4. Tip the sesame seeds and panko breadcrumbs onto a plate and mix well. Coat both sides of the halloumi slices in the mixture and set aside. Heat the remaining oil in the frying pan over a medium heat and fry the halloumi for 3-4 mins on each side until golden and crisp.

5. Spread the garlic mayonnaise over the bases of the buns, then top with some coleslaw, two pieces of halloumi, a drizzle of the hot honey and a spoonful of the salsa. Sandwich with the bun tops and serve.
