INGREDIENTS

2 tins of banana blossom drained

1-2 litres of vegetable oil for frying

1 tbsp of Mr Organic Rapeseed Oil

1/2 nori sheet, crushed

1 tbsp Mr Organic Apple Cider Vinegar

1/2 tsp of salt

200g plain flour

340ml of vegan-friendly beer

1/2 tsp of baking powder

1 tsp of onion powder

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp of paprika

1/4 tsp of turmeric powder

1/2 nori sheet crushed

Oven baked chips

Organic peas

2 tbsp Mr Organic Ketchup to serve

2 tbsp of Mr Organic Mayo to serve

METHOD

1. Drain the banana blossoms and place them in a bowl alongside the rapeseed oil, crushed nori, apple cider vinegar and salt. Allow for them to marinate for at least 30 minutes and prepare the batter in the meantime.

2. Place the flour, baking powder, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, turmeric and crushed nori into a mixing bowl and whisk to combine, then pour in the vegan-friendly beer and stir until you get a smooth batter and set aside.

3. In the meantime, gently heat your oil over low heat until it reaches about 170C.

4. Carefully remove the banana blossoms from the marinade and dunk them into the batter. Gently lift to drip off any excess batter and place the banana blossom into the hot oil. Fry each coated banana blossom for 4-5 minutes or until golden and carefully remove them from the oil with a slatted ladle. Place the banana blossom onto a drip tray or a clean kitchen towel to remove any excess oil.

5. To keep them warm, you can place any fried banana blossoms into the oven at 160C for up to 30 minutes to ensure they remain wonderfully crispy and hot. Serve the banana blossom fish alongside thick-cut chips and enjoy with peas, Mr Organic Tomato Ketchup and/or Mr Organic Egg Free Mayo.
