Falafel and Halloumi Burger

These falafel burgers are beautifully tangy with the saltiness of the halloumi. The recipes suggests serving them with houmous, lettuce and pickled chillies, I went for homemade tzatziki, rocket and dill pickles, mostly because that's what I had and it still tasted delicious. I was using it as a way to use up half a can of chickpeas that I'd opened for something else, so really didn't want to go out and buy anything new and I still managed to keep with a Greek theme!
