Sweetcorn Fritters With Avocado Crispy Chorizo Recipes

SWEETCORN FRITTERS WITH AVOCADO & CRISPY CHORIZO

Steps:

• Tip the sweetcorn, spring onions, flour, eggs, paprika and milk into a large bowl, season and mix well.
• Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Spoon 1 tbsp of the batter into the pan to make a mini fritter (you should be able to fit three or four in the pan at a time, depending on the size of the pan) and cook for 4-5 mins, turning halfway through, until golden. Remove to a plate lined with kitchen paper and repeat with the rest of the batter, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. (You should make about 28 fritters.) To freeze, leave to cool completely, then transfer to a tray and open-freeze until solid. Transfer to a freezer bag, seal and freeze for up to two months. Defrost in the fridge overnight before using.
• Mix the mashed avocado with the coriander, lime juice, oil and chilli flakes, if using, then season to taste. Will keep in an airtight container in the freezer for two months. Defrost in the fridge overnight before using.
• If the fritters have been frozen and defrosted, heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and fry the fritters for a few seconds, then flip and fry for a few seconds more until hot and crisp. Remove to a serving platter.
• Add the chorizo to the pan and fry over a medium-high heat until crisp. Top each fritter with a little of the avocado mixture, the chorizo and a sprinkle of chives before serving.

CHORIZO VEG FRITTERS

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients for the fritters, except the oil, in a large bowl. Season and mix well.
• For the quick tomato salsa, mix together all of the ingredients in a medium bowl with a pinch of salt.
• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Scoop 1-2 tablespoons of batter at a time into the pan to form a fritter, and cook for about 5 mins, turning halfway, until golden and cooked through. Set aside on a plate lined with kitchen paper. You'll need to do this in batches and add extra oil if the pan gets dry. You should end up with 10-12 fritters. Serve immediately, topped with the salsa. Freeze on a tray, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to two months. Defrost at room temperature, then reheat in a low oven.

CORN FRITTERS WITH CRISPY BACON, ROASTED TOMATOES & AVOCADO

Steps:

• Tomatoes& Bacon.
• Start with the tomatoes: Preheat the oven to 180°C Cut each tomato in half lengthwise. Place on a roasting tray, cut side up. Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper (and tiny pinch of dried herbs if you fancy). Roast for 20-30 minutes. For the final 10 mins - move the tomatoes to bottom rack and turn the grill on. Lay out your rashers of bacon (suggest 2 per person) onto a grilling rack. Grill until crisp and crunchy turning regularly. Watch carefully to ensure bacon doesnt burn. Ideally bacon should be stiff and can practically be snapped like a biscuit. Remove both bacon and tomatoes and put aside. Turn oven down to 120°C (for keeping Corn fritters warm whilst cooking).
• Corn Fritters.
• Place half of the corn kernels and the onion, eggs, coriander, flour, baking powder, salt and pepper in a food processor (or in a bowl with hand held whizzer) and process until combined. This is an important step! Whizzing the corn up in this way gives the binding agents a distinct corn flavour which I find lacking in other fritters which do not do this. I believe this is one of the secrets that make Bill's fritters so damn good! Place in a large bowl, add the remaining corn and stir to combine.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium to high heat. When the oil is hot, drop 2 heaped tablespoons of mixture per sweetcorn cake into the pan and cook in batches of three for 1 minute each side.
• Drain on paper towels and keep warm in the oven while you are making the rest of the cakes. Serve with the avocado salsa.
• Avocado salsa.
• Place all the ingredients in a bowl and stir very gently to combine. Season well.
• To serve.
• Create stacks of the various elements in any combination you wish (see picture above). Place a fritter on the plate, then any combination of bacon, spinach, tomatoes and other fritters that your heart desires. Top with avocado salsa and drizzle with olive oil.
• YUM!
