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.

Time 16m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons ground dried chipotle pepper
1 lime, juiced
1 large egg white
¼ cup ice water
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ cup cornstarch
¼ cup self-rising flour
2 ears fresh sweet white corn, kernels removed from cob
1 cup vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
1 ½ cups flaked fresh Dungeness crab meat
1 fresh lime, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Whisk mayonnaise, chipotle powder, and lime juice together in a mixing bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed for serving.
  • Whisk egg white, ice water, and salt together in a large mixing bowl until mixture is light and foamy, 1 or 2 minutes. Add cornstarch and flour; whisk together until thoroughly mixed. Batter should resemble a thin pancake batter. Stir in corn.
  • Heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) in a seasoned cast iron skillet. Spoon about 2 large spoonfuls of batter into oil for each fritter. Do not crowd, cook in batches, if necessary. Fry until browned and crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Turn fritters carefully to avoid spattering the oil. Drain on paper-towel-lined plate.
  • Serve topped with fresh Dungeness crab and drizzle with the chipotle dressing. Serve with a wedge of lime.
