Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C. Chop the potatoes into 2cm wide wedges (no need to peel). Pop them onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary. When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through.
Meanwhile, trim the aubergine (see ingredients for amount) then slice into rounds approximately 2cm thick. Slice the halloumi into 3 slices per person, then place them into a small bowl of cold water and leave to soak. Halve the burger buns.
Pop the aubergine onto another baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer and roast the aubergine on the middle shelf of your oven until soft and golden, 20-25 mins. Turn halfway through.
Meanwhile, mix together the onion marmalade and harissa paste (see ingredients for amount - add less if you don't like heat) in a small bowl. Set your harissa relish aside.
When 10 mins of roasting time remain, remove the halloumi slices from the cold water. Pop them onto a plate lined with kitchen paper and pat them dry. Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the halloumi and fry until golden, 2-3 mins each side. Remove from the heat once cooked.
Just before serving, pop your burger buns onto the aubergine baking tray to warm through, 2-3 mins. When ready, lay the halloumi slices on the warmed bun bases. Top with the aubergine rounds, then the rocket. Spread a generous amount of harissa relish on the bun lids and then place on top. Serve up your burgers with the potato wedges alongside. Enjoy!
