step 1
Trim the ends of the broccoli (200 g) and if there are any thick pieces, halve them lengthways.
step 2
Empty the packet of tempura batter mix (1 pack) into a large bowl. Pour in the iced cold sparkling water (210 ml), along with the ice cubes (2) to the bowl and whisk until you have a smooth batter. Season the batter with salt and pepper and whisk again.
step 3
Heat 2-3 inches of light olive oil in a deep sauté pan to 180c.
step 4
Add half the purple sprouting broccoli to the batter and coat this well on all sides. Carefully lower each piece of broccoli into the hot oil and cook for 4-6 minutes turning once until crispy and golden. Lift the broccoli up out of the oil using a slotted spoon and let them drain on a wire rack.
step 5
Add the mayonnaise (100 ml), truffle pesto (3 tbsp), anchovies (2), lemon zest (1), lemon juice (1/2), chillis (1) and parsley (2 tbsp) into a bowl and mix well. Serve this into small bowls and place onto serving plates. Add the broccoli tempura to the plates and sprinkle with a little salt. Add a lemon wedge (as needed) to each plate to serve.
