DESCRIPTION

Corn fritters are delicious corn 'cakes' lightly fried. This healthier version uses wholewheat flour, less oil and is sugar and dairy-free. It's easy to make and is great as part of any meal or a snack.

INGREDIENTS

  • 400g corn kernels
  • 1 small bunch cilantro, chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • 70g wholewheat flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1-2 tsp olive oil

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Put 200g (7oz) of corn kernels and all other ingredients (except olive oil) in a food processor and pulse until you get a chunky mixture. Do not over process because we want some textural contrast in the fritters.
  2. Transfer the batter to a big bowl, and stir in the rest of the corn kernels.
  3. Heat up 1 tsp of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Drop a spoonful of batter into the skillet. Shape it into a circle and flatten it slightly with the back of your spoon. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
  4. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  5. Serve with some salad greens or your favorite sides. Enjoy!

NOTES

  • You can use fresh, frozen or canned corn for this recipe. If using frozen, defrost them first.
  • You may omit cilantro if you don't like it or substitute with parsley if you prefer.
  • You may substitute wholewheat flour with white flour or a gluten free blend of your choice
