- Fill a high-sided frying pan with 2cm oil and heat over medium heat.
- Place paper towel on a plate ready to drain cooked poppers.
- Dip broccoli into the batter, gently shake off excess and carefully place in the oil.
- Cook for about 90 secs on each side, drain on paper towel.
- Place avocado, kale, zest and juice of lemon and 2 tbsp olive oil in a blender and blitz until you get a consistency you like. Add more olive oil if needed and season to taste with salt and pepper
- Tip: You can swap the broccoli for cauliflower.
