Corn And Wild Rice Fritters Recipes

CORN AND WILD RICE FRITTERS

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients except oil and salsa. Add oil to heavy skillet to a depth of ¼ inch.
• Heat over medium until oil is hot.
• Drop small amounts (2 tablespoons or up to 1/3 cup) of batter into the oil, cooking a few fritters at a time.
• Cook each batch until brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels and serve with salsa.

CRISPY RICE CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together the rice, green onions, corn, cheddar, pimentos and basil. In another medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, paprika, salt and pepper, then pour over the rice mixture and stir to combine. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, fill a large cast-iron skillet with 1/4 inch of oil and heat the oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and set it nearby.
• Scoop 1/4 cup of the rice mixture, pressing it down lightly in the measuring cup, then turn it out into the hot oil and lightly flatten it. (You can cook 3 or 4 at a time, depending on the size of your skillet.) Fry for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, until browned underneath. Take care to not move the fritters around after you first add them to the pan so they stay intact while they cook. Gently flip the fritters and cook for another 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Transfer to the paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain and sprinkle with a bit of salt while warm. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or with the Green Goddess Dip.
• In a food processor, combine the parsley, mint, basil, chives, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon zest, lemon juice, cream cheese, salt and pepper and process for 3 minutes, stopping and scraping down the sides to make sure all the ingredients are fully incorporated. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if needed. Transfer to a bowl.

RICE PATTIES - HOW TO MAKE RICE FRITTERS

Steps:

• Dice the onion finely and chop the fresh herbs.
• Combine the left over rice, egg, fresh herbs, onion and cornstarch. Mix well.
• Using a muffin scoop, scoop out the mixture and press first and then release on a cutting board to make patties. Flatten slightly with your fingers.
• In a frying pan with curved side, heat oil for shallow frying.
• When the oil is hot, add the patties, pressing down slightly to form a flat fritter. Don't crowd the pan.
• Fry one side until golden brown for about 5 minutes and flip.
• Drain fritters on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
• Serve with salsa, guacamole, hummus or anything else that has a spicy fresh flavor.
