Ingredients
- 3 corn cobs, kernels stripped
- 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
- ¼ cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, roughly chopped, plus extra to serve
- ¼ cup coriander leaves, roughly chopped
- 100 g grated tasty cheese
- ½ tsp salt, to taste and black pepper
- 3 eggs, beaten
- ½ cup plain flour
- vegetable oil, for frying
- 100 g marinated feta, to serve
For the pico de gallo
- 1 tomato, finely chopped
- ⅛ red onion, finely chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine the corn kernels, spring onion, parsley, coriander, cheese, the salt and a generous pinch of freshly ground black pepper with the eggs and mix well to combine.
2. Add the plain flour and mix until the batter resembles the texture of an egg salad.
3. Heat enough oil to shallow fry in a large frying pan. Once the oil is hot, spoon the batter into the pan to form circular fritters around 6 – 8 cm wide. Cook for 2 minutes, then flip and cook for a further 1-2 minutes, or until golden on both sides.
4. Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat with remaining mixture.
5. To make the pico de gallo, combine the ingredients in a medium bowl.
6. To serve, divide corn fritters between plates and top with pico de gallo. Spoon over the marinated feta cheese. Sprinkle with parsley and a drizzle of oil from the marinated feta jar. Sprinkle with extra salt and pepper, if you like.
Note
If you prefer a less ‘wet’ pico de gallo, de-seed the tomato before finely chopping!
