Cypriot grill cheese burger with Portobello and beetroot tzatziki

Let’s go to the Eastern parts of the Mediterranean. In Italy we’ll find Portobello mushrooms. From Cyprus we get the salty Halloumi style cheese that will not melt on the grill. Then, in Greece we’ll find inspiration in one of the most traditional dishes: the tzatziki. However, we’ll replace the cucumber with beetroot. Giving it an intense red colour and we’ll achieve something close to the Syrian dip sauce “Mutabbal Shamandar”. All comes together and with a side of roasted sweet potatoes.
