Ingredients
- 11 ½ oz zucchini (approx 2 medium zucchini
- ½ onion
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 cup corn from approx 1 ear of corn
- ½ cup grated mozzarella (½ cup approx 2oz)
- ⅓ cup grated parmesan (⅓ cup approx ¾oz0
- 1 egg
- ⅓ cup all purpose flour plain flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch pepper
- olive oil for frying
- sour cream and paprika to serve (optional)
Instructions
- Trim the end off the zucchini, peel the onion then coarsely grate both. Put them into a colander and sprinkle over some salt. Toss and leave while you prepare the rest.
- If using fresh corn, peel and remove the kernels from the cob. If using frozen/can make sure it is defrosted and well drained.
- Coarsely grate the mozzarella and grate the parmesan relatively finely.
- Squeeze as much liquid as you can from the zucchini and onion and discard the liquid. Put the drained zucchini and onion in a bowl with the corn, mozzarella, parmesan, egg, flour, baking powder and pepper. Mix well so well combined and ingredients seem pretty evenly distributed, without breaking up the zucchini too much.
- Warm a thin layer of olive oil in a medium skillet/frying pan over a medium heat (you can do more/less at once in a smaller/bigger skillet, as you find easier to manage). Put spoonfuls of the mixture into the skillet and press them down with a spatula/fish slice to gently flatten.
- Leave the fritters to cook a couple minutes (around 3, but will depend a little on pan/heat) until you can see the underside starting to brown. Turn over and cook a couple more minutes on the other side. Remove from the pan and set aside, ideally covered, while you cook further batches.
- Suggest serving with a little sour cream and paprika on top or just as they are.
