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!

CRISPY RICE CORN FRITTERS



Crispy Rice Corn Fritters image

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.

CORN FRITTERS WITH CRISPY BACON, ROASTED TOMATOES & AVOCADO



Corn Fritters With Crispy Bacon, Roasted Tomatoes & Avocado image

Corn Fritters for breakfast is a cherished event in our house. We both love this dish.... ALOT. I would go so far as to say this is my favourite breakfast of all time. And looking around the interwebs it looks like I'm not the only one. When we lived in Sydney we were frequent visitors to Bill Granger's restaurants where this dish was one of the stars. In London I've been slowly perfecting it, doing my very best to faithfully recreate each element. I used the Corn Fritters with avocado salsa recipe in bills open kitchen as the base. However in his restaurant Bill also serves his corn fritters / avocado salsa with crispy grilled bacon, oven roasted tomatoes and fresh spinach. These elements really make the dish complete for me (but of course this a fantastic vegetarian dish sans Bacon). So here is my homage to Bill Granger and his wonderful Corn Fritters... with crispy bacon, oven roasted tomatoes, baby spinach and spicy avocado salsa. http://gourmetlovers.blogspot.com/2010/04/corn-fritters-with-crispy-bacon-roasted.html

Time 45m

Yield 8 Corn fritters, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 25

525 g fresh corn (cut from 3 large corn cobs, or you can substitute with tinned sweet corn kernels)
1 red onion, chopped
2 eggs
handful of chopped coriander leaves
125 g plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
sea salt
fresh ground black pepper
vegetable oil (for frying)
200 g smoked back bacon
100 g baby spinach leaves
roasted tomatoes (see below)
avocado salsa (see below)
4 small tomatoes, halved (preferably Roma)
generous drizzle extra-virgin olive oil
1 pinch dried herbs (optional)
sea salt
fresh ground black pepper
2 ripe avocados, stones removed and diced
handful of chopped coriander leaves
2 tablespoons lemon juice or 2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons finely chopped spring onions
1 tomatoes, quartered seeded and finely sliced
1 teaspoon chili paste (optional)
sea salt

Steps:

  • Tomatoes& Bacon.
  • Start with the tomatoes: Preheat the oven to 180°C Cut each tomato in half lengthwise. Place on a roasting tray, cut side up. Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper (and tiny pinch of dried herbs if you fancy). Roast for 20-30 minutes. For the final 10 mins - move the tomatoes to bottom rack and turn the grill on. Lay out your rashers of bacon (suggest 2 per person) onto a grilling rack. Grill until crisp and crunchy turning regularly. Watch carefully to ensure bacon doesnt burn. Ideally bacon should be stiff and can practically be snapped like a biscuit. Remove both bacon and tomatoes and put aside. Turn oven down to 120°C (for keeping Corn fritters warm whilst cooking).
  • Corn Fritters.
  • Place half of the corn kernels and the onion, eggs, coriander, flour, baking powder, salt and pepper in a food processor (or in a bowl with hand held whizzer) and process until combined. This is an important step! Whizzing the corn up in this way gives the binding agents a distinct corn flavour which I find lacking in other fritters which do not do this. I believe this is one of the secrets that make Bill's fritters so damn good! Place in a large bowl, add the remaining corn and stir to combine.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium to high heat. When the oil is hot, drop 2 heaped tablespoons of mixture per sweetcorn cake into the pan and cook in batches of three for 1 minute each side.
  • Drain on paper towels and keep warm in the oven while you are making the rest of the cakes. Serve with the avocado salsa.
  • Avocado salsa.
  • Place all the ingredients in a bowl and stir very gently to combine. Season well.
  • To serve.
  • Create stacks of the various elements in any combination you wish (see picture above). Place a fritter on the plate, then any combination of bacon, spinach, tomatoes and other fritters that your heart desires. Top with avocado salsa and drizzle with olive oil.
  • YUM!

SAVORY CORN FRITTERS



Savory Corn Fritters image

These corn fritters use fresh, whole kernels, mixed with spices, scallions and a simple batter. Corn fritters come in many types, from the cornmeal-based, deep-fried hush puppies, to the more patty-shaped, pan-fried fritters. Pan-seared in hot oil until crisp, these patty-like fritters contain Cheddar, which adds creaminess while still allowing the crunchy corn kernels to provide a pop of sweet flavor and texture with each bite. Fritters make an excellent side for a cookout, as they stand up to smoky barbecue flavors and can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. Leftovers make an excellent breakfast, with a dollop of sour cream or plain yogurt on top.

Time 30m

Yield 18 fritters

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 large eggs
2/3 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
3 cups corn kernels, fresh or frozen and thawed (about 1 pound)
1/4 cup chopped scallion greens
1 cup sharp Cheddar, shredded
Vegetable oil, coconut oil or shortening, for frying

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, garlic powder, black pepper and ground cayenne. Whisk in the flour and baking powder until just combined. Stir in the corn, scallions and Cheddar.
  • Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-low and add enough oil to generously coat the bottom of the skillet.
  • Once the oil is shimmering hot, add a heaping tablespoon of the batter to the skillet. Use the back of the spoon to flatten it into a round patty. Repeat to fry 3 to 4 fritters at once. Fry on each side until golden, about 2 minutes, then cook for an additional 2 minutes. Add more oil as needed.
  • Remove from the skillet and transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Repeat until all fritters are fried. Serve warm or at room temperature.
