Crispy Crunchy Sweetcorn Fritters Food

EXTRA CRISPY CORN FRITTERS

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!

SWEETCORN FRITTERS WITH AVOCADO & CRISPY CHORIZO

Steps:

• Tip the sweetcorn, spring onions, flour, eggs, paprika and milk into a large bowl, season and mix well.
• Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Spoon 1 tbsp of the batter into the pan to make a mini fritter (you should be able to fit three or four in the pan at a time, depending on the size of the pan) and cook for 4-5 mins, turning halfway through, until golden. Remove to a plate lined with kitchen paper and repeat with the rest of the batter, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. (You should make about 28 fritters.) To freeze, leave to cool completely, then transfer to a tray and open-freeze until solid. Transfer to a freezer bag, seal and freeze for up to two months. Defrost in the fridge overnight before using.
• Mix the mashed avocado with the coriander, lime juice, oil and chilli flakes, if using, then season to taste. Will keep in an airtight container in the freezer for two months. Defrost in the fridge overnight before using.
• If the fritters have been frozen and defrosted, heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and fry the fritters for a few seconds, then flip and fry for a few seconds more until hot and crisp. Remove to a serving platter.
• Add the chorizo to the pan and fry over a medium-high heat until crisp. Top each fritter with a little of the avocado mixture, the chorizo and a sprinkle of chives before serving.
