Bacon corn fritters with avocado salsa
Corn fritters are a summer essential. Ours are extra delicious with bacon and served with a chunky avocado salsa. These are easy to pack up for a picnic at the beach. If you’re bacon obsessed like we are, then feel free to fry up some extra rashers to serve on the side.
Ingredients
Bacon corn fritters
- ½ cup self raising flour
- 2 free range eggs
- 300 g corn kernels fresh, thawed from frozen, or canned
- ⅓ cup Superb Herb coriander chopped
- 1 spring onion thinly sliced
- salt & pepper
- Olivado avocado cooking oil for frying
Avocado salsa
- 2 NZ Avocados scooped & diced
- 3 nectarines or other stone fruit stone removed & diced
- ¼ red onion finely diced
- 1 garlic clove crushed
- 1 chilli finely chopped (optional)
- ¼ cup lime juice
- ½ cup Superb Herb coriander roughly chopped
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to high (230°C). Lay bacon rashers on a lined baking tray and grill for 5 minutes, turning halfway, until cooked and crispy. Set half aside (to serve with corn fritters) and finely chop the other half.
- In a large bowl mix all avocado salsa ingredients together. Season to taste, then set aside.
- For bacon corn fritters: add eggs and half the corn to a blender and blend until smooth (or add to a bowl and use a stick blender). Pour into a large bowl and fold in flour, remaining corn, chopped cooked bacon, coriander and spring onion. Liberally season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a generous drizzle of oil in a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add ladles of fritter batter, smoothing out each amount to a flat fritter shape. Fry each fritter for 3 minutes each side, until browned and cooked through. Work in batches, adding oil when necessary.
- Serve fritters with avocado salsa and extra bacon. Yum!
