Corn Fritters

[heart_this] · Sep 21, 2007 · 13 Comments

Corn Fritters with Salsa

I have really been enjoying the fresh local corn. I have mostly been eating it off the cob with salt and butter, which is great, but now I was looking for something different. I recalled seeing Michael Smith on Chef at Home on the Food Network making these corn fritters that looked pretty good. Since corn was not in season at the time I had bookmarked the recipe to try later. His recipe had cheese and there was maple butter, but I was thinking more Mexican. I dropped the cheese and maple butter and added some cumin, cilantro and lime and then topped them with some salsa. They were really easy to make and pretty tasty. I liked the slightly crunchy texture that the cornmeal gave them. I was thinking that it would have been nice if I had some sour cream at the time.

    Fresh corn is great, isn’t? It’s so naturally sweet and doesn’t require much of anything to taste good. These fritters look just delicious.

    These sound so good, it probably does not help that I am looking at them during the time I am fasting!

    I made some of these tonight and loved them. They were so delicious and very easy to make! I have recently fallen in love with cilantro (because of several of your recipes) and I really enjoyed the flavor in these fritters. You’ve done it again!

    P.S. I didn’t have any fresh corn so I used frozen corn that I thawed in the microwave. It worked well and the corn still tasted really sweet.

    I know this is an old one, but I wanted to drop a line and say how much I loved this recipe. I had to fudge one ingredient (I was recently diagnosed with celiac… but a quick swap of rice flour for the wheat and I was off on a run) but beyond that? Incredibly tasty. I had to make a second batch halfway through the meal because my husband fell in love with them!

    And you're right, the cornmeal adds a much needed texture to the whole shebang. Thanks so much for a recipe I'll be using a LOT now that the summer corn is starting to come in.
