Categories     Appetizer/Starter     Side Dish

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

11 1/2 oz zucchini (325g courgette, approx - 2 medium zucchini)
1/2 onion
1 pinch salt
1 cup corn (155g, from 1 ear of corn)
1/2 cup grated mozzarella (60g/ 2oz)
1/3 cup grated parmesan (20g/ 3/4oz)
1 egg
1/3 cup all purpose flour (45g plain flour)
1 tsp baking powder
1 pinch pepper
olive oil for frying
sour cream and paprika to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Coarsely grate the mozzarella and grate the parmesan relatively finely.
  • 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.
  • Suggest serving with a little sour cream and paprika on top or just as they are.

ZUCCHINI AND CORN FRITTERS



Zucchini and Corn Fritters image

Crispy Zucchini Corn Fritters - Made with a short list of simple ingredients, these fried delights bursting with zucchini and sweet corn with a crispy exterior and a soft interior.

Provided by Joanna Cismaru

Categories     Appetizer     Side Dish     Snack

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large zucchini (shredded)
1 cup corn kernels
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
2 eggs
1/4 cup dill (chopped)
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt and pepper (to taste)
vegetable oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Prep Zucchini: Shred the zucchini, and toss it in a mixing bowl. I usually try and soak up some of the liquid from the zucchini with paper towels, so I place the zucchini on about 3 or 4 paper towels and squeeze the liquid from it.
  • Add Ingredients: Add corn to the bowl. Add in the flour, breadcrumbs, eggs, dill, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper and mix well. If the mixture is too watery add more flour as needed.
  • Heat Oil: In a skillet, heat about a quarter cup of oil over medium heat. You want the oil to be about 1/4 inch deep.
  • Fry: When the skillet is ready, but not smoking, use a spoon to scoop out the mixture, and then place it in the hot oil. Allow it to cook for 2-3 minutes, until it is golden brown. Turn it over, and cook on the other side until golden, another 2 to 3 minutes. Place the cooked fritters on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up the oil, and repeat with the remaining batter.

Provided by 2Bleu

Categories     Corn

Time 35m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups corn (about 3 ears if using fresh)
1/2 small red onion (thinly sliced)
1 cup fresh parsley
3 small zucchini (cut into 3/4inch fine julienne)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
3 tablespoons soda water (seltzer)
2 cups vegetable oil (for deep frying)

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the corn, onion, parsley, and zucchini and toss to mix.
  • Add the flour and toss with your hands, separating all the ingredients to be sure they are all coated evenly with the flour.
  • Add the salt, pepper, and sparkling water and mix all together. The mixture should be airy and light, but not wet; do not overmix.
  • In a large heavy saucepan or deepfryer, heat about 4 inches of vegetable oil to 375 degrees.
  • Gather the batter into loose, very freeform fritters about 3 inches in diameter (when you gather them together, compact just slightly to hold in a mass, but there will still be lots of stray bits of vegetable sticking out and some will fall off and separate from the main clump).
  • Deep fry them, 2 at a time, until they are golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes, turning over halfway through. Stand back and watch out for splattering oil for the first minute or two.
  • Gently remove them to paper towels, drain and keep warm in a low oven while you finish cooking the other fritters.

Provided by DCKatie

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Squash     Zucchini     Fried Zucchini Recipes

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups shredded zucchini
2 ears fresh corn, kernels cut from cob
¼ cup finely chopped onion
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 large egg, beaten
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¾ cup olive oil for frying, or as needed

Steps:

  • Squeeze excess moisture from shredded zucchini and combine with corn kernels, onion, flour, and curry powder in a bowl. Stir in egg until thoroughly combined and season with salt and black pepper.
  • Heat olive oil to a depth of about 1/8 inch in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Drop batter, 1/4 cup at a time, into hot oil and flatten fritters gently with a spatula. Cook until golden brown on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Tips:

  • To ensure the fritters are cooked evenly, make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the batter. You can check this by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; if it sizzles immediately, the oil is ready.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the fritters. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and may cause them to stick together.
  • Use a large spoon or ice cream scoop to drop the batter into the oil. This will help to ensure that the fritters are evenly sized and cooked.
  • Cook the fritters until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides. This will ensure that they are cooked through and delicious.
  • Serve the fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include ranch dressing, ketchup, or honey mustard.

Conclusion:

Giant zucchini corn fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish or snack. They are perfect for using up leftover zucchini and corn, and they can be customized to your liking with different herbs and spices. Whether you serve them with a dipping sauce or on their own, these fritters are sure to be a hit.
