    Easy Corn Fritters in a flash!

    Ever wondered how to make corn fritters like your favourite cafe? This easy recipe will have you cafe dining at home in no time.

    On the weekends I tend to head to the local farmers’ market to pick up fruit and vegetables for the coming week.  There is no plan, it is a case of seeing what is in season and what inspires me.  I tend to devise my weeks’ menu on what goodies I have purchased.

    Corn Fritters

    Ears of corn are an item I always pick up.  It always seems fresher, more vibrant and tastes better from the markets.  We enjoy eating corn quite a bit.  Whole ears will be barbequed, and I love it grilled Japanese style.

    Even though I love my fresh corn, corn kernels are something that I do keep in the freezer for emergency cooking.  I have even been know to have a tin or two in the cupboard.

    Corn Fritters

    These corn fritters are one of those perfect canned corn recipes. Of course it works just as well with freshly picked ears of corn, or with frozen corn. 

    On this occasion I served them with some tomato relish which had been sitting unopened in the cupboard for a little while.  Actually the relish was the reason why I made the fritters.  It’s residency in the cupboard was starting to annoy me, the duration way too long.  The relish needed to be evicted, used.

    I have since served them with salsa, which goes perfectly. Top with some fresh coriander (cilantro) and it is a little tex mex trip for your taste buds.

    You could make this meal even more substantial.  For breakfast adds some bacon rashers and a few slow cooked roma tomatoes.  Brunch?  Add a fresh green salad to accompany the relish.

    Do you keep a stash of frozen and/or tinned vegetables on hand?

      am guilty of stockpiling EVERYTHING in my pantry and freezer, corn seems to make it in there every single time so i tend to whip up some corn fritters whenever I get a complaint for hogging the pantry space!

      Yep I love corn fritters. I always keep loads of peas on hand and tins of chickpeas. Nothing beats a corn cake though

      Yep, I could definitely give this one a go Sara; it looks fantastic.

      I had some sweet corn fritters at a cafe in Glebe recently with some bacon, poached eggs, tomatoes & avocado which was insanely good.

      You're right though Sara, great brunch ANY day 🙂 Thanks for sharing!

      This dish looks easy to prepare and child-friendly and adult-friendly (esp. for me!) at the same time. The texture with the tomato relish will be awesome. Thanks for sharing!

      I had never had these until last year and now I'm in love with them. The first time ever was at a bbq at the park and I think I ate nearly all of them. I'm going to try your recipe next.
