For the corn fritters
3 cups frozen corn
2 eggs — lightly beaten
1 cup self-raising flour
1 small red onion — finely chopped
30 g fresh coriander — finely chopped, plus extra to serve
1 tsp salt
freshly ground black pepper – to taste
vegetable oil – for shallow frying
sweet chilli sauce – for serving
For the smashed avo salsa
2 avocados
1 small red onion – coarsely chopped
2 spring onions – sliced
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp fresh coriander – finely choppedMethod:
To make the fritters, combine half the corn with the eggs and flour in the jug of a stick blender and whizz until creamy and combined.
In a bowl add the remaining corn, onion and the chopped coriander and mix well with the creamed egg mixture. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Heat the oil in a medium frying pan. Cook heaped tablespoons of the batter, one at a time, until browned both sides and cooked through, about 3-5 minutes per side. Drain on absorbent paper.
Keep cooked fritters warm in a warmer or oven at a low temperature until serving time.
To make the salsa, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mash lightly with a fork to combine.
