Vegetarian, Gluten free, Dairy free
Ingredients:
- 1 red onion, roughly chopped
- 1 egg
- 300g creamed corn (1 tin)
- 1½ cups plain flour (or gluten-free plain flour)*
- 1 teaspoon baking powder*
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ bunch coriander, leaves and stalks (washed well)
- pepper to taste
- 420g corn kernels, drained (1 tin)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Smashed Avo:
- 1 avocado
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (½ lime)
- 2 spring onions, finely sliced
- ½ bunch coriander leaves, chopped
- salt and pepper
- 1 long red chilli, finely diced (optional)
Method:
-
Add onion, egg, creamed corn, flour, baking powder, coriander leaves and coriander stalks, salt and pepper in a food processor bowl and process until it forms a batter. Add the drained corn and pulse a few times, just until the corn kernels are mixed through. Set aside for a few minutes while you smash the avo.
-
Mash the avocado in a small bowl, make it as smooth or as chunky as you like. Mix in lime juice, spring onions, coriander leaves, salt and pepper.
-
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat, and when hot, drop large tablespoons of mixture into the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes each side, until golden. When cooked drain on paper towel while you continue cooking the remaining mixture.
-
Serve fritters topped with smashed avocado and sprinkled with chilli.
-
Optional: great with Capsicum Relish
* GLUTEN FREE OPTION – ensure flour and baking powder are gluten free
Tip: On the weekend, I prefer to cook these on the BBQ as I can cook the whole batch at the same time.
