Sweetcorn Fritters With Chilli And Ginger Dipping Sauce Recipes

SWEETCORN FRITTERS WITH CHILLI AND GINGER DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the chilli and ginger paste by placing all ingredients in a food processor and puréeing until smooth. Rub through a sieve and set aside until needed.
• Sift together flour and baking powder and season if desired.
• In a separate bowl beat together the egg and milk and beat in the flour until smooth.
• Add the sweetcorn, cheese, coriander and onions and mix well. Leave to stand for 15 minutes (It should thicken).
• Heat the oil and use a large spoon to add batter to the pan, cook until golden on both sides and drain.
• Serve the fritters with salad leaves, lime wedges and the chilli sauce.

CRAB & CORN CAKES WITH CHILLI DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Tip the egg, flour, garlic and coriander stalks into a food processor with a third of the corn. Whizz to a smooth paste. Mix with the remaining corn, crab, half the spring onions and some seasoning.
• Stir together the sauce ingredients. Cover a tray with kitchen paper. Heat 5cm depth oil in a large, heavy saucepan - it's ready when a cube of bread browns in 30-40 secs. Drop in dessertspoons of the corn mix, then fry for 2-3 mins, turning, until golden and crisp. Lift onto kitchen paper. Keep warm. Repeat with the remaining mix. Serve the hot cakes sprinkled with the last of the spring onion and the dipping sauce alongside.
