Mix the courgette ribbons with the white wine vinegar and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside.
Place the basil, pine nuts, garlic and Parmesan cheese in a food processor. Blend until coarsely chopped, then add the olive oil whilst blending until you have a smooth pesto. Taste and season to taste with salt and pepper. Then mix the mayonnaise with lemon juice and zest.
Fry the mozzarella patties according to the cooking instructions on the packaging, until they are golden brown and stretchy.
Cut the brioche buns in half. Lightly brush the cut surfaces with extra virgin olive oil. Fry them in a dry frying pan until golden brown and crispy on the inside. Then gently rub them with the garlic clove.
Spread lemon mayonnaise on the bottom half of the brioche buns. Top with rocket, the warm mozzarella patty, tomato, courgette ribbons and a spoonful of green pesto. Finish by placing the top half of the bun on top.
