Steps:
- Make salsa:
- Stir together all salsa ingredients and season with salt.
- Make fritters:
- Cut corn kernels from ears and scrape cobs to extract juice, then discard cobs. Whisk together egg and milk until smooth and stir in cornmeal, flour, and salt. Stir in corn, including juice.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then drop in 2 tablespoons batter each for 4 fritters. Fry until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side, and drain on paper towels. Make more fritters in same manner, adding oil as necessary.
- Serve fritters with salsa.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the fritters will taste. Look for sweet corn that is in season and ripe tomatoes.
- Don't overcook the corn: Overcooked corn will become tough and chewy. Cook the corn just until it is tender-crisp.
- Make sure the batter is thick enough: The batter should be thick enough to coat the corn and tomatoes without being too runny. If the batter is too thin, the fritters will be too soft.
- Fry the fritters in hot oil: The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when the fritters are added. This will help the fritters to brown and crisp up.
- Serve the fritters hot: Couscous fritters are best served hot out of the fryer. They can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
Conclusion:
Couscous fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks. With their crispy exterior and flavorful interior, couscous fritters are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
