How to prepare
Step 1: Make the Marinara
Use your favorite jar of store bought marinara, or try making your own! Sweat onions and 3 cloves of the garlic with 2 tablespoons olive oil until soft. Add tomatoes and simmer for 12-25 minutes, or until flavor is more developed--the marinara should taste a little sweet after the tomatoes cook down. Add the fresh herbs and continue to cook for 1 minute, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
Step 2: Make the Pesto
Use your favorite prepared pesto, or while the marinara is simmering, make some fresh pesto at home. Add the basil leaves, remaining garlic, and toasted pine nuts or walnuts to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until coarsely ground, and then stream in the remaining 1/2 cup olive oil with the food processor on to grind all ingredients until smooth. Add the finely grated cheese (use plant-based parmesan here if desired), and season to taste with salt and pepper. Blend once more to fully incorporate.
Step 3: Fry the Basil Leaves
Thoroughly clean and dry the basil leaves before frying. Add the grapeseed oil to a small frying pan or pot and heat over medium heat. When the oil reaches between 275 to 300ºF, lower the herbs into the oil using a slotted metal spoon. Watch out for any splattering oil! Fry the leaves for about 5 to 10 seconds, or just until they become even in color throughout. Transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel or clean dish cloth to drain.
Step 4: Bake the Impossible Chicken Patties
Preheat oven to 400°F. Place frozen patties evenly across a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20 min total, flipping patty over halfway through baking. Toast you rolls or sliced french loaf pieces cut side up for the last 5 mins of baking time in the oven.
Step 5: Build Your Sandwich
Remove the buns from the sheet pan, and add some marinara to the top of each patty, followed by a slice of mozzarella or plant-based mozzarella. Turn your oven to broil, and place the sheet pan back in the oven for approximately 3-4 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and nicely browned. Add some additional marinara to the bottom bun, then the cheese topped Impossible Chicken Patty, followed by a generous spoonful of pesto, some of the fried basil leaves, a drizzle of balsamic glaze, and finish off the sandwich with the top bun. Now that is an impressive sando! Please note you'll have more than enough homemade marinara and pesto for this recipe, so keep refrigerated and use for your next tasty Impossible Chicken Patties sandwich.
