Method

step 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 mins 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.
step 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 mins 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.
step 3

For the slaw, 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 mins until golden. Remove from the pan and set aside.
step 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.
step 5

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

Recipe tip

Any leftover slaw and salsa can be served alongside, or mixed together to make a salad.
