Burger Burger Panko Mushroom Burger with Charred Broccoli

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 230°C. Prep mushrooms. Squash each mushroom down firmly with the palm of your hand to flatten slightly. In a bowl, toss mushrooms with soy sauce, honey and garlic. Sprinkle flour onto one plate and panko crumb onto a second plate. Whisk egg in a bowl.
2. Finish mushrooms. Coat each mushroom in flour, shake off excess. Dip into egg and shake off excess. Lastly, coat mushrooms in the mushroom burger panko mix, pressing crumb into mushrooms to ensure it sticks. Place onto a lined oven tray, drizzle generously with olive oil and bake for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through cook time, until golden and crisp.
3. Cook broccoli. Heat a drizzle of oil in a fry-pan on high heat. Add broccoli and do not move it, until you can see it beginning to char. Turn broccoli and allow it to char on the other side. Add a splash of water to deglaze pan then add butter, garlic and almonds and cook for about 1 minute, until starting to brown. Season to taste. Set aside and reserve fry-pan.
4. Prep buns & shallot. Heat a knob of butter in reserved fry-pan on medium-low heat. Toast the buns cut-side down, for 2-3 minutes, until toasted and golden.
5. To serve spread chilli jam on the bottom bun and aioli on the top bun. Fill with mushrooms, cheese, rocket, shallot and pesto. Serve with broccoli.
