Ingredients
500g pack Asda Rainbow Fries or sweet potato fries
100g vegan mayo
10g dill, finely chopped
10g parsley, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 lemon, zest and juice, plus wedges to serve
40g gherkins, finely chopped
510g tin banana blossom in brine, carefully drained
½tsp onion granules
100g self-raising flour
30g cornflour
½tsp turmeric
200ml beer (or sparkling water), chilled
Vegetable oil, for deep frying
Method
1Preheat the oven and cook the Rainbow Fries according to pack instructions.
2To make the tartare sauce, stir together the mayo, dill, parsley, garlic, lemon zest and chopped gherkins until combined. Season with black pepper, cover and chill for at least 15mins, or until needed.
3Put the drained banana blossom into bowl and gently toss with the lemon juice and onion granules. Season with black pepper.
4Put the self-raising flour and cornflour into a separate bowl and stir through the turmeric. Whisk in beer or sparkling water until smooth.
5Heat the oil to 180C, in a deep fat fryer or deep saucepan, or if you don’t have a thermometer, heat the oil on a medium setting until a cube of bread browns in about 30secs. Line a plate with kitchen roll.
6Dip a few pieces of the banana blossom in the batter until well coated. Gently place into the hot oil and cook for 6-8mins, until golden brown, turning occasionally. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on the kitchen roll. Repeat with all of the banana blossom.
7Serve a couple pieces of the battered banana blossom with some chips and a spoonful of tartare sauce, with extra lemon wedges to squeeze over.
