Sweetcorn Fritters Recipe Jamie Oliver Recipes

STIR-FRIED CORN WITH CHILLI, GINGER, GARLIC AND PARSLEY

Steps:

• One of the things I love to do is to stir-fry the corn kernels in a hot wok or frying pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, a tablespoon of chopped ginger, a teaspoon of chopped chilli, a handful of chopped fresh parsley and a couple of tablespoons of low-salt soy sauce. You can vary the flavours with different herbs, but this is a good base to start with.

SWEETCORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• 1. Place the drained sweetcorn in a medium-sized bowl and mix with the spring onions, chilli, if using, and coriander. 2. Sift the flour and baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt into a separate bowl. 3. Whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. 4. Make a well in the centre of the flour bowl. Gradually pour the egg mixture into the well, whisking continuously, until the batter is smooth. 5. Stir in the corn mixture, season with salt and pepper and rest for 10 minutes. 6. Pour the oil into a large deep frying pan making sure the base of the pan is well covered. (CAUTION: hot oil can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended.) Heat the oil, add a tiny bit of batter, and if it immediately starts sizzling the oil is hot enough. Using 2 tablespoons of mixture per fritter, drop the mixture carefully into the pan. You should be able to cook 2-3 fritters at a time. Fry for 2-4 minutes on one side until a light brown, then turn over and cook for a further minute. 7. Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper. Repeat until all the batter is used. Serve with fried bacon, guacamole and soured cream.

CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a heavy pot or deep fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Beat together egg, milk, and melted shortening; stir into flour mixture. Mix in the corn kernels.
• Drop fritter batter by spoonfuls into the hot oil, and fry until golden. Drain on paper towels.

SWEETCORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Mix the flour, baking powder, paprika and milk together in a large bowl. Mix in the egg, followed by the sweetcorn, chopped spring onions, chives, parsley, 1 tsp salt and some freshly ground black pepper.
• Heat a 1cm depth of oil in a frying pan over a medium heat until a small amount of the fritter mixture sizzles when dropped in. For larger fritters, drop 2 heaped tablespoons of the mixture into the pan at a time in a clockwise direction (this will help you remember the order they were added to the pan, so you can flip them at the right stage). For smaller fritters, do the same, but with 1 heaped tablespoon of mixture at a time.
• After 2 mins, flip the fritters over in the same order they were added to the pan. Cook for another 2 mins, continuing to turn every now and then to ensure both sides are evenly golden brown. When ready, the fritters should be darker brown with crispy pieces of corn at the edges - be careful, as some of the kernels may burst during the cooking process. Remove to a wire rack and pat away any excess oil using kitchen paper. Serve straightaway with a few strips of spring onion scattered over, if you like.
