Method
6 stepsStep 1
Prepare the barbecue for cooking.
Step 2
Start by crumbling the feta into a mixing bowl. Add the yoghurt, oregano, lemon zest and juice and season with black pepper. Mix well to make a thick paste.
Step 3
Put the pepper strips into a bowl, drizzle with the olive oil and toss to coat. Once the barbecue flames have died down to hot embers, place the strips on the grill. Cook for 2-3 mins each side, until they just start to soften. Remove from the heat and keep to one side.
Step 4
Pop the buns on the grill cut-side down to lightly toast. Set aside.
Step 5
Next, cook the halloumi slices on the grill for 2 mins each side, then remove.
Step 6
To assemble each burger, spread 1tbsp red pepper pesto on the bottom half of the bun, add a quarter of the pepper strips, then a quarter of the feta mix. Top with four halloumi slices, a handful of rocket, a quarter of the avocado and a couple of rings of red onion, then finally the lid of the bun.
