ZUCCHINI-CORN FRITTERS

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 medium zucchini, coarsely shredded
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
2 ears corn, kernels cut off 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
Vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Toss the zucchini with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl; let stand 10 minutes. Wrap the zucchini in a kitchen towel and squeeze dry.
  • Meanwhile, heat the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 4 minutes. Add the corn and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
  • Whisk the cornmeal, flour, baking soda, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Whisk the buttermilk and egg in a large bowl, then stir in the corn-onion mixture and zucchini. Add the cornmeal mixture and stir until just combined.
  • Wipe out the skillet the corn-onion mixture cooked in. Pour in about 1/8 inch vegetable oil and place over medium heat. Working in batches, scoop scant 1/4 cupfuls of the batter into the oil and use the back of the measuring cup to flatten the scoops. Cook until the fritters are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt. Serve warm or at room temperature. (You can make the fritters up to 2 hours ahead; reheat in a 375 degrees F oven on a rack set on a baking sheet.)

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh corn and zucchini. If using frozen corn, thaw it completely before using.
  • Grate the zucchini and corn using the large holes of a box grater. This will help the fritters to hold together better.
  • Be sure to drain the chickpeas well before adding them to the batter. This will help to prevent the fritters from becoming too soggy.
  • Season the batter generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or cumin.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat before adding the fritters. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Cook the fritters until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides. This will take about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Serve the fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Some good options include ranch dressing, tzatziki sauce, or Sriracha mayo.

Conclusion:

Corn, zucchini, and chickpea fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for using up leftover corn and zucchini from your garden.
