CORN CAKES

Steps:

• For the avocado salsa: Mix the red onion, avocado, lime zest and juice and tomato in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
• For the corn cakes: Whisk together the Cotija, flour, cumin, paprika and egg in a medium bowl until incorporated. Add the corn, garlic, scallions and lime zest. Fold together until incorporated. Set aside.
• Heat 1/2 inch of oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat to around 350 degrees F.
• In batches, add 2-tablespoon scoops of the batter and fry until golden and crisp, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate, sprinkle with sea salt and drizzle over some of the lime juice.
• Serve the corn cakes hot, topped with the avocado salsa.

CORN CAKES WITH AVOCADO SALSA

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the flour, egg, corn and half the onions with some seasoning, then mix well. Mix the avocado with the remaining onions, lime juice, coriander and seasoning, then set aside.
• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a non-stick frying pan. Drop tbsps of the corn mixture into the frying pan, smoothing them down to form cakes. Cook for about 2-3 mins on each side over a medium heat, adding the remaining oil if you need to. Serve hot with the avocado salsa, lime wedges and some warm refried beans.
