Cook
40 minutes
Serves
2
Ingredients
50g vegetarian hard cheese, finely grated
1 medium head broccoli
Co-op vegetable oil, for frying
1 Co-op British free range egg
150g Co-op plain white flour
2 Co-op sesame seeded burger buns
Co-op wild rocket, hot sauce and sliced red onion, to serve
For the basil mayo
30g Co-op reduced fat mayonnaise
2 spring onions, finely chopped
Handful basil leaves, plus extra to serve
Juice and zest of ½ lemon
Method
Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6
On a lined baking tray, pile the hard cheese into two small mounds and bake for 5-7 mins, until flattened out and bubbling
Leave to cool completely
Cut two steaks by slicing vertically through the centre of the broccoli, each about 1.5cm thick
Cut the rest into smaller florets
Heat the oil in a medium pan to 180˚C (a small piece of bread should turn golden in 15 seconds)
Meanwhile, whizz all the ingredients for the mayo together in a small food processor, then season
Whisk the egg in a small bowl with the flour and 200ml ice-cold water until combined
Coat the broccoli steaks in the batter and let any excess drip off, before frying for 4-5 mins, turning halfway, until lightly golden and tender in the centre
Drain well and season
Repeat with the broccoli florets, frying for 2-3 mins, and then finally with the extra basil, for 1-2 mins, until crisp
Toast the burger buns and spread the bases with basil mayo
Add a handful of rocket, then top with the broccoli steaks, florets and crispy basil and cauli leaves (if using)
Drizzle with hot sauce, before topping with a cheese crisp, some red onion and the bun lid
