Start by finely dicing the onion and garlic. Add this with the spices into a large mixing bowl and drizzle in the olive oil. With a spoon, mix together until the spices evenly coat the onion and garlic.

Place the burger patty into an oiled pan at a medium heat and cook to desired level with a charred out surface.. This will be 4-8 minutes per side depending on the thickness of the patty.

Remove the pattys from the pan and let rest for 5 minutes. Remove most of the excess fat from the pan before dicing roughly and frying the halloumi. Fry until golden brown.
