Ingredients
Black Bean Salad
- 1 can black beans drained and rinsed
- 1 tomato medium, diced and deseeded, about ½ pound
- 1 tablespoon lime juice fresh
- ½ jalapeño or serrano pepper, deseeded and minced
- ½ cup white onion diced
- ¼ cup cilantro chopped, plus more for garnish (if desired)
- 1 pinch salt
Corn Fritters
- ½ cup cornmeal finely ground, whole grain
- ½ cup whole-wheat flour or gluten-free blend
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- ¾ cup corn frozen
For Cooking
- olive oil or clarified butter (ghee)
For Serving:
- arugula
- sour cream
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, toss together the black bean salad ingredients and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, chili powder, cumin and salt. Make a well (hole) in the center and pour in the milk, egg, and melted butter. Stir with a rubber spatula until well combined. Carefully fold in the corn kernels (no need to defrost).
- In the bottom of a large skillet, warm up a thin layer of olive oil (or ghee) over medium-low heat. Drop in spoonfuls of batter (smaller spoonfuls for finger food and larger ones for a plated appetizer). Cook in batches for 3 - 4 minutes per side or until golden brown on the outside and no longer runny on the inside. Note: If your pan is too hot, they'll get brown on the outside before they cook all the way through on the inside - so getting the temperature right is key! Also add additional cooking fat if the pan dries out.
- Arrange a handful of the arugula on each of the four plates, top with black bean salad, corn fritters, and some dollups of sour cream and cilantro (if desired), and serve.
Notes
- We recommend organic ingredients when feasible.
