Sweetcorn Fritters
Yum
Sweetcorn Fritters contain sweetcorn kernels mixed into a simple batter and fried until crisp. Fifteen minutes to have great summer lunch or dinner.
As you will see, I used canned sweet corns. That is why I drained them. But if you use fresh sweet corns, you simply boil or grill them and then peel to use for fritters. In fact, I have found a blog with great ideas showing what you can do with maize. Take a closer look here . Also, there are details on how to boil and grill them as well.
When to harvest sweet corn is not an easy question. Only few years ago, ideal time for that was end of August but I’ve spotted them at street market at the end of July. Also, people pick the grapes at wine yards now, six weeks earlier than usual, because the heat has sped up the process.
I had some plans to publish an ancient grape recipe but I wonder if I’ll maybe skip it since we are packing for northern countries to cool a bit. However, I’ll try to organize a friend to freeze some fresh grape juice to make it later … we’ll see …. However, it is top tourist season, people everywhere, the heat is on and it’s the best to pack and go, if you can, to beat the heat.
This recipe takes only 15 minutes to make so it’s perfect summer lunch or dinner.
Instead of cottage cheese, you may serve these fritters with yogurt, labneh, or Caprese salad.
