Ingredients Needed:

Fritters:

• 90g plain flour
• 1.5 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 3 large eggs
• 500g frozen sweetcorn kernels
• 6 spring onions, finely sliced
• 20g chopped coriander (cilantro)
• 10g diced green chilli
• Butter, for frying

Charred Red Pepper Relish:

• 1 red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 red pepper, deseeded
• 30 cherry tomatoes

Avocado Topping:

• 2 ripe Hass avocados, peeled and roughly chopped
• 20ml lemon juice
• 10g chopped coriander (cilantro)
• Crème fraîche, for serving

How To Make Sweetcorn Fritters Recipe?

1. Prepare the Charred Red Pepper Relish: Thinly slice the red onion and sweat it in a little oil over medium heat. Chargrill the deseeded red pepper until smoky and blistered. Scorch the cherry tomatoes until softened. Dice the red pepper and combine it with the onions and tomatoes. Cook until it reduces into a chutney-like relish. Set aside.
2. Make the Avocado Topping: Smash the avocados with the lemon juice until it reaches a chunky purée consistency. Stir in the coriander, season to taste, and set aside.
3. Cook the Fritters: Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, eggs, sweetcorn, spring onions, coriander, and green chili in a bowl. Mix until fully combined. Heat a knob of butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Spoon in portions of the mixture to form fritters. Cook until golden brown on one side, then flip and cook the other side until done.
4. Assemble and Serve: Plate the fritters, then top each with a generous spoonful of charred red pepper relish, smashed avocado, and a dollop of crème fraîche.

Recipe Tips:

• Fresh Sweetcorn is Better: Frozen sweetcorn is good, but fresh is sweeter and crunchier. Boil it first and cut the kernels off the cob.
• Don’t Crowd the Pan: Fry only a few fritters at once so they turn crispy and golden, not soft and oily.
• Check Battery Texture: If the batter is too thick, mix in a little milk so it cooks through properly.
• Char the Veggies Well: Make sure the pepper and tomatoes for the relish are blackened a bit. This gives a smoky, rich flavor.
• Eat Right Away: These fritters are best fresh. Serve them while they’re hot and crispy for the best taste!

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Cool the fritters to room temperature first. Then store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
• Freeze: After cooling, freeze the fritters on a tray for 1 hour, then move them to a freezer bag or container. Keep them frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
• Reheat: Use a pan on medium heat to warm the fritters for 2-3 minutes per side.
