Method
Corn fritters are a summer essential. Ours are extra delicious with bacon and served with a chunky avocado salsa. These are easy to pack up for a picnic at the beach. If you’re bacon obsessed like we are, then feel free to fry up some extra rashers to serve on the side.
Method:
- Preheat the grill to high (230°C). Lay bacon rashers on a lined baking tray and grill for 5 minutes, turning halfway, until cooked and crispy. Set half aside (to serve with corn fritters) and finely chop the other half.
- In a large bowl mix all avocado salsa ingredients together. Season to taste, then set aside.
- For bacon corn fritters: add eggs and half the corn to a blender and blend until smooth (or add to a bowl and use a stick blender). Pour into a large bowl and fold in flour, remaining corn, chopped cooked bacon, coriander and spring onion. Liberally season with salt and pepper.
- Serve fritters with avocado salsa and extra bacon. Yum!
Tips:
- For gluten free diets simply swap the flour for gluten free self raising flour.
- The avocado salsa is also delicious on tacos, or served with fish and chicken.
