Asparagus And Corn Fritters Recipes

EASY ASPARAGUS FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat olive oil and butter in a 9-inch nonstick pan over medium heat and cook asparagus, stirring occasionally, until soft but still firm to the bite, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Beat eggs in a bowl until frothy. Stir in Parmesan cheese and milk; season with salt and pepper. Pour egg mixture over asparagus and cook until eggs are set, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Invert frittata onto a plate and garnish with parsley.

CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in medium bowl. Stir in eggs and milk just until flour mixture has all been moistened. Mixture should be lumpy. Fold in corn. Melt 1 teaspoon shortening in a large skillet over medium heat. Drop corn batter by tablespoonfuls into skillet and fry until brown on both sides and centers feel firm when gently pressed, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to platter and keep warm. Repeat until all batter has been used, adding shortening as needed. Serve with honey or syrup, if desired.

CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Whisk 3/4 cup flour, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon each baking powder and pepper in a bowl. Whisk 1/2 cup milk and 2 eggs in another bowl; stir in the flour mixture. Add 2 cups corn, 1/4 cup each chopped cilantro and scallions, 1 chopped jalapeno and the zest and juice of 1/2 lime. Cook 1/4 cupfuls in a skillet with olive oil, 2 minutes per side. Serve with Greek yogurt.

ASPARAGUS FRITTERS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus spears, and cook until tender but not mushy, about 8 minutes. Drain, and rinse under cold water to cool them down. Drain and dry the spears, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Whisk together the eggs, grated cheese, onion, bread crumbs, flour, and salt in a large bowl. Stir in the asparagus pieces.
• Heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. (The oil is ready when a drop of batter sizzles on contact.) Drop 1/4-cup rounds of the asparagus batter into the hot oil, flattening if necessary, to make flat cakes. Cook until golden on the underside, about 2 minutes, then flip, and fry until the fritters are cooked through, about 2 minutes more. Drain the fritters on paper towels, and season with salt.

ASPARAGUS AND CORN BAKE

Steps:

• Steam or microwave fresh asparagus until just tender; cut cooked or canned asparagus into 3 cm lengths.
• Trim crusts from bread, cut bread into 3-4cm squares.
• Place bread squares over base and sides of a 8 cup (2-litre) greased ovenproof dish.
• Sprinkle bread with half the cheese.
• Top with asparagus and shallots.
• Beat eggs in bowl; beat in corn, milk and mustard.
• Pour mixture over shallots; sprinkle with remaining cheese.
• Brush exposed bread edges with melted butter.
• Bake at 180c for about 50mins, or until just set in centre.
• Stand 5-10mins before cutting into squares.
• Serve warm, sprinkled with extra shallots.

SAVORY CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot to 365F. Whisk together flour, baking powder, cornmeal, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Whisk eggs together on another bowl and then add dry ingredients. Fold in corn kernels last. Do not overmix batter. Carefully drop by tablespoonful into oil and fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

CORN AND ASPARAGUS CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Coat a baking dish with butter; spread creamed corn on top. Sift flour, sugar, salt, and pepper evenly over corn. Pour evaporated milk and eggs on top. Fold asparagus into egg mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until beginning to set, about 30 minutes.
• Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over asparagus mixture; bake until Cheddar cheese is melted, casserole is fully set, and edges are lightly browned, about 5 minutes more.

TUNA, SPRING ONION & SWEETCORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Mix the milk and eggs together in a jug with ½ tsp salt and ¼ tsp ground black pepper. Sift the flour into a bowl, make a well in the centre and pour in the egg mixture in a thin, steady stream, whisking well until combined. Stir in the sweetcorn, spring onions, lemon zest and tuna.
• Heat a drop of oil in a non-stick or cast iron frying pan over a medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the pan and cook until crisp and golden, about 2-3 mins, flip and repeat on the other side (you'll need to do this in batches). Keep warm in a low oven and repeat with the remaining batter.
• Serve the hot fritters with the lemon wedges for squeezing over, the soured cream and hot sauce, if using.
