zucchini fritter

These zucchini corn fritters combine two summer favorites into an easy, delicious appetizer or side.&nbsp;

Zucchini corn fritters

11 1/2 oz zucchini

onion

salt

corn (155 grams, from 1 ear of corn)

mozzarella (60 grams/ 2 ounces)

all purpose flour

tsp baking powder

pepper

olive oil

sour cream and paprika to serve (optional)

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.&nbsp;

Coarsely grate the mozzarella and grate the parmesan relatively finely.&nbsp;

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.&nbsp;

Suggest serving with a little sour cream and paprika on top or just as they are.

Crispy, savory zucchini and corn fritters are made with simple ingredients in just 30 minutes.

Zucchini Corn Fritters

zucchini

salt (divided)

sweet corn kernels (thawed; see note

garlic (minced)

all-purpose flour

paprika

black pepper

basil

egg (whisked;

sour cream or Greek yogurt (for topping)

Layer shredded zucchini in a single layer in a colander or fine mesh strainer. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and toss to combine. Let rest for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, pat with a paper towel or clean hands to push excess water through the strainer.

In a medium mixing bowl, stir together all ingredients except olive oil (zucchini, 1/4 teaspoon salt, thawed corn, minced garlic, all-purpose flour, paprika, black pepper, basil, whisked egg), until a wet batter forms. Let rest for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil or enough to coat the bottom of the pan. Once hot, use an ice cream or cookie scoop to portion out fritters onto the hot oil (or use a 1/4 cup measure if you don&#39;t have a scoop). Pat the fritters with the back of a spatula to flatten.

Cook until browned (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook the other side until browned. Don&#x27;t flip until one side is truly browned or the fritters may not hold together.

Enjoy immediately. Top with your choice of dairy or vegan sour cream or Greek yogurt. Sprinkle with additional paprika and basil for serving.
