I just wanted to share my first picture (and recipe) of what I cooked tonight - please keep in mind, my pictures are not professional.
I made bbq chicken wings, corn fritters, and a nice fresh salad of butter lettuce, radicchio, carrots, tomatoes, and cucumbers - a nice dinner for the first night of summer. But tonight's feature is the corn fritters.
Fresh sweet corn and onions with other seasonings come together and produce a savory yet subtle sweet fritter (recipe to follow).
1 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon old bay seasoning
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 cup water
2 cups of corn kernels (fresh sweet white corn or canned/bagged) - if frozen, thaw first
2 cups chopped vidalia sweet onion
1 tablespoon fresh parsley
canola or olive oil for frying
Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, old bay, and ground cumin in a medium bowl. Add egg, lemon juice and water. Stir with a large spoon until smooth. Add the corn, onions, and parsley. Stir until combined.
Heat oil in a large frying pan on medium high heat, enough oil to generously coat the bottom of the pan. When oil is hot, spoon about 2 tablespoons of fritter batter into the pan to form one fritter, pat it down with spatula or back of spoon. Let cook about 4-5 minutes on each side, flipping the fritters when they are nicely browned on each side. When browned on both sides, remove the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the excess fat.
SN - I think what I might try next time is topping the fritters with sour cream, fresh scallions or chives, crumbled bacon, and feta cheese...sounds like a lot, but I can almost guarantee that those flavors will make for a MARVELOUS fritter.
Enjoy and have a great night!!
