Sweet Corn Fritters
Make in frying pan
Ingredients
- 11 1/2 oz canned sweet corn
- 2 heaping tablespoons self-rising flour
- 5 heaping tablespoons cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 2 scallions
- 1—2 fresh red chilies
- whole-wheat buns
- 1 h oz mixed watercress, spinach & arugula
Instructions
- Put a 12-inch non-stick frying pan on a medium-high heat.
- Drain the sweet corn, pat dry with paper towel or a clean kitchen towel, and place in a bowl with the flour and 1 tablespoon of cottage cheese. Crack in the eggs, add a pinch of black pepper and mix together well.
- Put a little drizzle of olive oil into the hot pan, then spoon in the batter in four equal piles, spreading each to about the same size as your buns.
- Cook for 4 minutes on each side, or until golden, pressing down when you flip them.
- Meanwhile, trim the scallions, seed the chilies, then finely slice it all and mix with 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar in a small bowl.
- Halve the buns.
- Stack up the fritters so you can quickly toast the buns alongside.
- Divide and spread the remaining cottage cheese across the bun bases, then sit the fritters on top.
- Divide over the watercress, spinach and arugula, then drain and generously sprinkle over the scallions and chili — the sweetness of the fritter means it can handle the heat.
- Pop the lids on, squash together and get stuck in.
