Ingredients

  • 1 onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 1/2 c corn kernels fresh or frozen (2 corn cobs)
  • 1 c chickpea (besan) flour
  • 1/2 red capsicum diced
  • 1 green or red chilli finely chopped
  • 1/2 c basil chopped
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 3/4 c water

Instructions

  • Pan fry onion in 1 tbsp of coconut oil until translucent. In a bowl, mix the onion with all remaining fritter ingredients, sifting in the chickpea flour and adding the water at the end to ensure there are no lumps.
  • For regular sized fritters, use quarter-cup scoops of the mixture, and for nibble-sized, heaped tablespoons. Pan-fry in the remaining 1 tbsp of coconut oil over medium heat for 3-4 minutes each side, until golden-brown.
  • For nibble-sized fritters, top with dollops of cashew sour cream, relish, halved cherry tomatoes and extra basil leaves.
  • To serve as a main, stack 3-4 regular-sized fritters before topping with the cashew sour cream, and then serve with wilted spinach, pan-fried mushrooms and slow-roasted tomatoes on the side.

Notes

  • You can make your own chickpea flour by simply blending up chickpeas in a high powered food processor until they're the consistency of flour.
  • You can replace the chilli in the fritters with a pinch of chilli powder, if you don't have any fresh chillies to hand
