I don't make vegetarian food a lot but I improvised based on what was in my fridge for a BBQ on the beach. Found I didn't actually miss the meat that much so thought it would be worth sharing!
INGREDIENTS
FOR THE RELISH: * 4 medium tomatoes * 4 spring onions, finely sliced * Big handful of fresh coriander, roughly chopped * 1 clove of garlic, crushed * 2 tbsp olive oil * 1 tsp ground cumin * Juice of half a lime * Salt and pepper to season
FOR THE BURGER: * 1 block of halloumi (sliced into eight) * 4 large flat/portobello mushrooms * 8 dollops of houmous * Handful of spinach * 4 burger buns
METHOD
- Prepare your relish at home. De-seed and chop the tomatoes into very small squares – keep the tomato seeds as you can use them in dishes like curried goat in addition to chopped tomatoes.
- Mix the tomatoes, spring onions, garlic, cumin and olive oil in a bowl. Then add the coriander and lime juice.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- To give yourself less work during cooking, you can prepare the other ingredients by slicing the halloumi and spreading the houmous on the burger buns at home.
- On a BBQ, cook the mushrooms for about 4 minutes each side. You may want to bring some oil along to baste them in during cooking to keep them moist and stop them sticking (I improvised and used cava).
- When you turn over the mushrooms, put the halloumi on the BBQ and cook for two minutes on each side.
- Construct your burger by placing the mushroom and two bits of halloumi within the houmous-slathered burger bun – then top with the relish and a few leaves of spinach.

It wasn't the prettiest thing ever but it was tasty!
