Number Of Ingredients 17

For fritters
1 pound zucchini (about 2 medium zucchini), trimmed and shredded
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 ears of corn, shucked, kernels sliced off cobs
1 ounce Parmesan cheese, grated (about 1/4 cup)
3 tablespoons flour (all-purpose or almond flour)
2 scallions, thinly sliced
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For tomato salad
1 garlic clove, minced
3 teaspoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes
1 scallion, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Place the zucchini in a colander and toss with 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Let stand for 15 minutes. Squeeze out the excess water from the zucchini using paper towels.
  • In a large bowl combine the zucchini, corn, Parmesan, flour, scallions, egg and pepper.
  • Scoop the fritters by the 1/4-cup-full onto the prepared pan. Lightly press down into a 3-inch-diameter disc, spacing 2 inches apart on the sheet pan. You should end up with 10-12 fritters.
  • Bake until lightly golden brown, about 8-10 minutes per side.
  • While the fritters are baking, make the tomato salad. In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper. Stir in the tomatoes and scallions.
  • Serve the fritters with the tomato salad.

CORN AND ZUCCHINI FRITTERS

Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups corn kernels (about 3 ears)
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 cup loosely packed parsley sprigs
3 small zucchini, cut into 3/4inch fine julienne
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons sparkling soda water
Vegetable oil for deep frying

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the corn, onion, parsley, and zucchini and toss to mix. Add the flour and toss with your hands, separating all the ingredients to be sure they are all coated evenly with the flour. Add the salt, pepper, and sparkling water and mix all together. The mixture should be airy and light, but not wet; do not over mix.
  • In a large heavy saucepan or deep fryer, heat about 4 inches of vegetable oil to 375 degrees. Gather the batter into loose, very freeform fritters about 3 inches in diameter (when you gather them together, compact just slightly to hold in a mass, but there will still be lots of stray bits of vegetable sticking out and some will fall off and separate from the main clump). Fry them, 2 at a time, until they are golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes, turning over halfway through. Stand back and watch out for splattering oil for the first minute or two.
  • With a skimmer or kitchen tongs, gently remove them to paper towels, drain and keep warm in a low oven while you finish cooking the other fritters.

ZUCCHINI CORN FRITTERS



Zucchini corn fritters image

These zucchini corn fritters combine two summer favorites into an easy, delicious appetizer or side.

Provided by Caroline's Cooking

Categories     Appetizer/Starter     Side Dish

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

11 1/2 oz zucchini (325g courgette, approx - 2 medium zucchini)
1/2 onion
1 pinch salt
1 cup corn (155g, from 1 ear of corn)
1/2 cup grated mozzarella (60g/ 2oz)
1/3 cup grated parmesan (20g/ 3/4oz)
1 egg
1/3 cup all purpose flour (45g plain flour)
1 tsp baking powder
1 pinch pepper
olive oil for frying
sour cream and paprika to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Trim the end off the zucchini, peel the onion then coarsely grate both. Put them into a colander and sprinkle over some salt. Toss and leave while you prepare the rest.
  • If using fresh corn, peel and remove the kernels from the cob. If using frozen/can make sure it is defrosted and well drained.
  • Coarsely grate the mozzarella and grate the parmesan relatively finely.
  • Squeeze as much liquid as you can from the zucchini and onion and discard the liquid. Put the drained zucchini and onion in a bowl with the corn, mozzarella, parmesan, egg, flour, baking powder and pepper. Mix well so well combined and ingredients seem pretty evenly distributed, without breaking up the zucchini too much.
  • Warm a thin layer of olive oil in a medium skillet/frying pan over a medium heat (you can do more/less at once in a smaller/bigger skillet, as you find easier to manage). Put spoonfuls of the mixture into the skillet and press them down with a spatula/fish slice to gently flatten.
  • Leave the fritters to cook a couple minutes (around 3, but will depend a little on pan/heat) until you can see the underside starting to brown. Turn over and cook a couple more minutes on the other side. Remove from the pan and set aside, ideally covered, while you cook further batches.
  • Suggest serving with a little sour cream and paprika on top or just as they are.

Tips:

  • Choose large, ripe zucchini. This will ensure that the fritters are moist and have a good flavor.
  • Use fresh corn kernels. Frozen or canned corn can also be used, but fresh corn will give the fritters the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the fritters tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a large skillet or griddle. This will help to prevent the fritters from sticking together.
  • Cook the fritters over medium heat. This will help to ensure that they cook through without burning.
  • Serve the fritters hot. They are best eaten fresh out of the skillet or griddle.

Conclusion:

Giant zucchini corn fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish. They are perfect for summer cookouts and potlucks. With their simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, these fritters are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
