Zucchini Corn Fritters With Lemon Basil Aioli Recipes

ZUCCHINI CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Trim the end off the zucchini, peel the onion then coarsely grate both. Put them into a colander and sprinkle over some salt. Toss and leave while you prepare the rest.
• If using fresh corn, peel and remove the kernels from the cob. If using frozen/can make sure it is defrosted and well drained.
• Coarsely grate the mozzarella and grate the parmesan relatively finely.
• Squeeze as much liquid as you can from the zucchini and onion and discard the liquid. Put the drained zucchini and onion in a bowl with the corn, mozzarella, parmesan, egg, flour, baking powder and pepper. Mix well so well combined and ingredients seem pretty evenly distributed, without breaking up the zucchini too much.
• Warm a thin layer of olive oil in a medium skillet/frying pan over a medium heat (you can do more/less at once in a smaller/bigger skillet, as you find easier to manage). Put spoonfuls of the mixture into the skillet and press them down with a spatula/fish slice to gently flatten.
• Leave the fritters to cook a couple minutes (around 3, but will depend a little on pan/heat) until you can see the underside starting to brown. Turn over and cook a couple more minutes on the other side. Remove from the pan and set aside, ideally covered, while you cook further batches.
• Suggest serving with a little sour cream and paprika on top or just as they are.

ZUCCHINI CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• HINT: Grate your zucchini first and lay on a couple of paper towels so that some of the moisture will pull out of them.
• In a large batter bowl, mix together the AP Flour, baking powder, salt, and paprika. In a smaller bowl, mix together the buttermilk and beaten eggs.
• Add the mixed liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients for the zucchini corn fritter batter, whisking or stirring well until smooth and combined (it's okay to have a few lumps). Then gently fold in the sweet corn. Add the rest of the chopped veggies (red pepper, chopped onion, jalapeno and shredded zucchini*. Gently fold together until batter and veggies are distributed.
• Heat a 10-12 inch skillet over medium-high heat with oil, this is my favorite skillet. You don't need to submerge the zucchini corn fritters in oil, but enough for them to get a good crisp; try 3-4 tablespoons to start.
• Using a medium cookie scoop or a tablespoon carefully place the corn fritter batter into the hot oil. Carefully (flip away from you so you avoid splatter) flip sweet corn fritters after about 2 ½ minutes until crisp and golden, remove and set on sheet pan. *Fritter batter should mound slightly, not falling off the spoon, see notes for tips if too runny or too thick.
• Working in batches, fry up all fritters (or as many as you need, the batter will hold for about 6 hours in fridge) and finish up by baking in a preheated 350 degree oven. Bake until slightly puffed, about 10-15 minutes.

ZUCCHINI CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, cumin, sugar, salt, and pepper.
• In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and butter. Whisk wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir in zucchini, corn, and cheese; mix well.
• Warm oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Drop batter by the tablespoonful into hot oil. Fry until crisp and brown, turning once with tongs. Remove to paper towels.

ZUCCHINI-CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Toss the zucchini with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl; let stand 10 minutes. Wrap the zucchini in a kitchen towel and squeeze dry.
• Meanwhile, heat the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 4 minutes. Add the corn and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
• Whisk the cornmeal, flour, baking soda, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Whisk the buttermilk and egg in a large bowl, then stir in the corn-onion mixture and zucchini. Add the cornmeal mixture and stir until just combined.
• Wipe out the skillet the corn-onion mixture cooked in. Pour in about 1/8 inch vegetable oil and place over medium heat. Working in batches, scoop scant 1/4 cupfuls of the batter into the oil and use the back of the measuring cup to flatten the scoops. Cook until the fritters are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt. Serve warm or at room temperature. (You can make the fritters up to 2 hours ahead; reheat in a 375 degrees F oven on a rack set on a baking sheet.)
