Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup flour (, plain / all purpose)
1/4 cup cornflour / cornstarch
1/4 tsp baking soda ((or 3/4 tsp baking powder))
1 egg
2 tbsp milk ((any type))
2 cups fresh corn kernels (, raw (2 cobs) (canned or frozen also fine - Note 1))
1/2 cup parmesan (, finely grated)
3/4 cup green onions (, sliced)
1/2 cup coriander/cilantro (, roughly chopped (sub more green onion))
1/2 cup vegetable oil
Oil spray
Avocado sauce
Sour cream, ketchup ((don't judge until you've tried it!))

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 120°C / 250°F and set a wire rack on a baking tray.
  • Place flour, cornflour and baking soda in a bowl, mix to combine.
  • Add egg and milk, mix until incorporated (batter will be lumpy and thick).
  • Add corn, parmesan, green onions and coriander. Mix until all the corn is evenly coated in batter.
  • Add enough oil into the skillet so it just covers the base. Heat over medium high heat.
  • Spray the underside of a spatula with oil (so batter won't stick when you flatten).
  • Place 1/4 cup batter into skillet (ice cream scooper with lever is handy), then flatten to 1cm thick. Repeat with 2 or 3 more, but don't crowd the skillet.
  • Cook 3 minutes until deep golden and crisp, then flip and cook the other side for 2 - 3 minutes.
  • Transfer to rack and keep warm in oven. Repeat with remaining fritters, using more oil as necessary.
  • Serve with sauce of choice for dunking!

TOMATO FRITTERS



Tomato Fritters image

I got the basic recipe for these fritters from a friend, then I tweaked it for my family's tastes. It's one of our very favorite things in the summer. We love them right after they've been fried, when they're still hot and crispy. -Pam Halter, Bridgeton, New Jersey

For Trisha Yearwood, food and family have always gone hand in hand. The country music star's cookbooks and show, Trisha's Southern Kitchen, are filled with heirloom recipes - and tributes to the loved ones who passed them down. Her fourth book, which she wrote with the help of her sister Beth, is no exception: Trisha's Kitchen includes plenty of prized family recipes, like her grandma Lizzie's sky-high biscuits and her dad's fried pies, but also some new ones, like these rice-and-corn fritters. Trisha's husband Garth Brooks loves rice, so she came up with these as a smart use for leftovers. "They make the perfect snack or side," she says.

Time 30m

Yield 12 corn fritters, plus 4 to 6 servings of Green Goddess dip

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 cups cooked white rice, cooled or cold
4 green onions, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
1 cup fresh or frozen sweet corn kernels, thawed if frozen
4 ounces cheddar cheese, grated (1 cup)
3 tablespoons diced pimentos, drained
12 large basil leaves, sliced into thin ribbons
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil, for frying
Sour cream or Green Goddess Dip (recipe follows), for serving
1 1/2 cups fresh parsley leaves
1 cup fresh mint leaves
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
1 bunch chives, chopped (about 1/4 cup)
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
Zest and juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tablespoons juice)
1 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more if needed
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more if needed

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, stir together the rice, green onions, corn, cheddar, pimentos and basil. In another medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, paprika, salt and pepper, then pour over the rice mixture and stir to combine. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, fill a large cast-iron skillet with 1/4 inch of oil and heat the oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and set it nearby.
  • Scoop 1/4 cup of the rice mixture, pressing it down lightly in the measuring cup, then turn it out into the hot oil and lightly flatten it. (You can cook 3 or 4 at a time, depending on the size of your skillet.) Fry for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, until browned underneath. Take care to not move the fritters around after you first add them to the pan so they stay intact while they cook. Gently flip the fritters and cook for another 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Transfer to the paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain and sprinkle with a bit of salt while warm. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or with the Green Goddess Dip.
  • In a food processor, combine the parsley, mint, basil, chives, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon zest, lemon juice, cream cheese, salt and pepper and process for 3 minutes, stopping and scraping down the sides to make sure all the ingredients are fully incorporated. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if needed. Transfer to a bowl.

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn kernels for the fritters. Fresh corn will give you the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen corn. Just thaw it completely before using.
  • Be sure to drain the corn kernels well before adding them to the batter. This will help to prevent the fritters from being too wet.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the fritters tough.
  • Heat the oil to 375 degrees F before frying the fritters. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly and don't absorb too much oil.
  • Serve the fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Crispy corn fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They're perfect for parties or potlucks, and they're also a great way to use up leftover corn. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these tasty fritters in no time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack, give crispy corn fritters a try!
