CORN AND ZUCCHINI FRITTERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the corn, onion, parsley, and zucchini and toss to mix.
• Add the flour and toss with your hands, separating all the ingredients to be sure they are all coated evenly with the flour.
• Add the salt, pepper, and sparkling water and mix all together. The mixture should be airy and light, but not wet; do not overmix.
• In a large heavy saucepan or deepfryer, heat about 4 inches of vegetable oil to 375 degrees.
• Gather the batter into loose, very freeform fritters about 3 inches in diameter (when you gather them together, compact just slightly to hold in a mass, but there will still be lots of stray bits of vegetable sticking out and some will fall off and separate from the main clump).
• Deep fry them, 2 at a time, until they are golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes, turning over halfway through. Stand back and watch out for splattering oil for the first minute or two.
• Gently remove them to paper towels, drain and keep warm in a low oven while you finish cooking the other fritters.
