Method
-
step 1
Cut four 1cm discs from the thickest part of the aubergine. Toss with 1 tsp of sea salt and leave in a colander for 20 minutes. Wipe dry with kitchen paper.
-
step 2
Mix together the mayonnaise and harissa.
-
step 3
Put the flour, egg and breadcrumbs in separate bowls. Mix the spices into the breadcrumbs, and season.
-
step 4
Heat a shallow pool of oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Dip the aubergine slices in the flour, then the egg, then the breadcrumbs to coat. Fry for 4-5 minutes each side or until deep golden, crisp and tender inside. Cook the aubergine for the full time to avoid it being chewy in the middle.
-
step 5
Cook the halloumi slices at the same time in a separate non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat until golden.
-
step 6
To assemble the buns, spread both sides with harissa mayo then layer up with lettuce, tomato, an aubergine burger and 2 slices of halloumi. Finish with a bun top.
