Homemade Veggie Burger & Sun-Dried Tomato Mayo

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7

Cut your potatoes (skins on) into chips

Add the chips to a baking tray with a small drizzle of vegetable oil and a generous pinch of salt and give everything a good mix up

Put the tray in the oven for 25-30 min or until the chips are golden and starting to crisp

Meanwhile, peel and roughly chop your red onion[s]

Peel and roughly chop your garlic

Chop your basil roughly, including the stalks

Drain your sweetcorn and pat the kernels completely dry with kitchen paper

Add the dried sweetcorn, chopped red onion, chopped garlic and chopped basil to a food processor with your soy sauce, ground cumin, tahini and a generous pinch of black pepper

Pulse for 2-3 secs or until the mixture is roughly chopped

Add your panko breadcrumbs and 2 tbsp [3 tbsp] [4 tbsp] flour and pulse for 2-3 secs further or until the mixture comes together to form a dough-like consistency

Shape the mixture into 1 flat burger patty per person

Tip: Add a little more flour if your mixture is too wet to handle

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat

Once the pan is hot, add the burger patty[ies] and cook for 2-3 min on each side or until golden then add to a baking tray (or two!), save the pan for later

Put the tray into the oven for 10 min or until golden

While the patties are in the oven, slice your cheddar cheese into thin slices

Once golden, top each burger patty with the sliced cheese, then return the tray[s] to the oven for 3-4 min further or until the cheese is melted and the burgers are cooked through, these are your cheesy burger patty[ies]

Wipe the reserved pan clean and return it to a medium-high heat

Slice your brioche bun[s] in half (if required!), once hot, add your brioche bun[s], cut-side down, and cook for 3 min or until toasted and charred, then set aside until serving

Add your mayo and balsamic sun-dried tomato paste to a bowl and give it a good mix up – this is your sun-dried tomato mayo

Wash your salad, then pat it dry with kitchen paper
