What up guys it is DJ BBQ at Big Feastival and we're in the Food Tube truck
and we're here to hang out with Hero Dad
his name is Shane, Shane please join myself in this awesome beast
so Shane you're the Hero Dad and we're here for the launch of the Renault Kadjar car
and in honour of this rad vehicle you're going to cook what?
I'm going to cook a halloumi and mushroom burger
what's in this burger we are going to start off with some griddled mushrooms, halloumi, lovely red onions
put some nice watercress
lots of flavours bro, yeah you're going to like it man
Who nominated you, how did you become a Hero Dad?
My stepdaughter Madison nominated me for this competition, she's a vegan and my other stepdaughter
is a vegetarian and my little boy will eat absolutely everything.
So what can I do to facilitate me eating your awesome mushroom and halloumi burger
so what we're going to do to start with is these onions
slice them down
get some of this soda vinegar
what you could do if you really wanted get a bit clever chop some chilies chuck it in there as well.
Just season that a little bit with salt with that vinegar.
give it a little scrunch
let them all get to know each other
you guys go have little party we'll see you in a bit man
ok so what we're going to do now is chop these lovely tomatoes
here's the magic bit, nice little bit of garlic
put the garlic on to the tomatoes
going to leave them for a little bit and the flavours goes in to them
next up we're going to make some herb oil
parsley and sage here
handful of each
Shane when you're not cooking, what are you doing to pay the bills?
I'm a builder
some of this oil in here
looks like a lot of oil Shane
don't worry what we're going to do is brush a bit on the mushrooms and a little on the halloumi
and then what I do is pour it in to a bowl so next time I do this again, pour it back and use again.
doesn't waste food
mushrooms please buddy
get rid of this little bit here
right brush that with that oil
now with mushrooms you get shrinkage
I like the fact that they shrink because they sit on the rolls a bit better
when you're not building or cooking, what will you do in your spare time
it's always something to do with food, lately I've got myself a smoker
be still my beating heart
how am I doing Shane am I doing ok
you're doing fantastic buddy
so Shane mushrooms in
if we can have those rolls over there
lovely thank you very much
so lets just chuck these in dry
just want to get a little bit of toastage on them
also it makes them go a bit softer too
ok we're going to flip these over now
the smells coming off of this frying pan could bring about a good time
beautiful flavours just floating in that mushroom
ok so our mushrooms are almost there
it's now the turn of the halloumi cheese
ok so what kind of servings are we looking for here
for 1 mushroom we'll only have about 20g of halloumi
a little bit goes a long way and you get the flavour from it
listen I cook on a grill for a living and one of the best things to cook on a grill - halloumi, squeaky cheese man
but if you don't put halloumi on, get all these black bits out, gives a nice cavity and keeps the moisture out.
crack an egg or two and put in there.
How about this - blue cheese and bacon
and stuff them in there
mushroom bombs
now we're talking.
Cut it in half like that
and in half like that
so that's going to go on the griddle pan
give them a little brush to get the herbs on there
like that sizzle?
love it man
it's like a magical thing that happens when you put halloumi on a grill or griddle pan
so the halloumi and mushrooms are ready
not it's time to assemble
lemon mayonnaise
lemon, juice, zest, bit of pepper
so put on the mushrooms first
the big build
halloumi
next up tomatoes
like the colours rocking
mustard on mine
but for the kids because of all the salt content we don't put the mustard on
well halloumi has got salt in it
we're reducing that salt
being healthy for the children
how good do those look?
are you serious?
these are the halloumi burgers
with meaty mushrooms
that is so good!
if you're a meat eater, that's perfect
it's quite meaty
the mushroom, the texture on the halloumi
loads of flavours, lots of different flavours but they all compliment eachother
it's a beautiful, tangy, flavorsome meaty dish, without the meat
Shane, thank you so much for cooking this amazing vegetarian burger let go check out the festival
Big Feastival you're mine!
