Mayo

- Transfer to a large bowl.
- Add the lemon juice and salt and pepper and finely diced red pepper.
The Crispy Onions
- Heat the oil gently. Add the onions and soften on a low heat. Sieve the flour into the pan.
- Fry in the oil for a minute and drain on some kitchen paper.
- Transfer to a bowl and keep to the side.
The Mushrooms
- Dice the blue cheese roughly and place into each of the mushrooms.
- Slice the mozzarella and place on top (grated is also fine)
- Drizzle a little olive oil over the top and season with salt and pepper
- Cook in the oven for 10 mins until the cheese has melted.
The Salad
In a large bowl add 800g mixed leaf salad. Mix a drizzle of olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.
The presentation – on a large plate spread out the salad and once the mushrooms are cooked place on top of the salad and sprinkle with the crispy onions. Place the mayo to the side and serve.
