By Morrisons
Published on 22 December 2020
Here’s a veggie burger recipe the whole family will love. Halloumi is known for its strong, salty flavour, which complements the beautifully flavoured courgette perfectly. Both these ingredients are ideal for grilling on the BBQ, for bringing out even more flavour.
