By Luke Dale-Roberts

10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 125 ml fresh cream, double or whipping
  • 125 g Gorgonzola
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 l iced water
  • 125 ml flour
  • 125 ml corn flour
  • Fresh micro basil sprouts, chopped
  • A selection of baby tomatoes (Bella, Rosa, Tiger Stripe)
  • Oil, for deep frying
  • Baby salad leaves
  • Olive oil, for drizzling

Method

Boil cream and blue cheese and keep stirring until thickened.

Mix the egg yolk with the ice water.

 

Combine flour and corn flour with water mixture until mixed through. It is okay if it has lumps in.

Dip tomatoes into batter and deep fry quickly at 180°C. Drain.

 

Season and serve drizzled in cream sauce with fresh salad to accompany.
