Steps:
- Cook the sweet potatoes in a large pan of boiling salted water for about 15 minutes until just tender. Drain and cool before roughly crushing with a potato masher - don't mash to a purée.
- Meanwhile, cook the kale in a pan of boiling water for about 4 minutes until just tender. Drain and dry with kitchen paper. Cool, then chop it coarsely.
- Heat the olive oil in a small skillet set over a medium heat and cook the scallions, garlic, and chile for 2-3 minutes without coloring. Stir in the cilantro.
- Spoon into a large bowl, then mix in the sweet potato, kale and flour. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the mixture into four portions and shape each one into a burger. Coat in the sesame seeds, then cover and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes until firm.
- Heat a little oil in a non-stick skillet over a low to medium heat and cook the burgers for 3-4 minutes each side until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Dry-fry or griddle the halloumi over a medium heat for about 2 minutes each side until crisp and golden brown.
- Lightly toast the burger buns and spread the bases with the mashed avocado. Top with the halloumi, burgers and some chile jam. Cover with the bun tops and serve.

Steps:
- Rub each potato with a little oil and salt, then wrap in a double layer of foil.
- Pour the oil into a bowl and stir in the mint. Add the halloumi and toss until well coated in the minty oil. Wrap each piece in a strip of pepper. Cut four lengths of foil about 1cm wide and wrap one around the middle of each parcel to hold them together. You could use skewers instead, but be careful not to split the cheese.
- Heat the barbecue. When the coals glow red, put the potatoes directly on them. Cook for 30 mins, turning halfway. Unwrap a potato and check if it is cooked through. If not, rewrap and cook more, checking every 10 mins. Alternatively, bake in the oven at 200C/180C fan/gas 6 for 50 mins-1 hr.
- Meanwhile cook the pepper parcels on the barbecue or a griddle pan for 3-4 mins each side or until the pepper chars and the cheese melts a bit. Remove from the grill and unwind the foil or remove the skewers. Split the potatoes, add butter if you like, then lay a parcel in the centre of each. Add a squeeze of lemon and scatter over some parsley to serve.
