WEIGHT WATCHERS CORN FRITTERS



Weight Watchers Corn Fritters image

Another WW site recipe that turned out great. Needing to use up some of my corn harvest and found this. Very good and 0 free style points, if you don't want to use fresh corn I'm sure frozen would do; just make sure it's defrosted and drained. For a little extra zing I did add about 2 teaspoons of chopped jalapeno to mine

SWEETCORN FRITTERS (CAN BE WEIGHT WATCHERS)



Sweetcorn Fritters (Can Be Weight Watchers) image

I love this recipe for its versatility. I can make it Weight Watchers friendly by reducing the oil. I can vary the amount of chilli to give it more or less heat. And it can be served with a range of sauces/ dips to add extra flavour! Despite the long list of steps, it comes together surprisingly quickly. If you make these the healthy way using less oil, make the fritters smaller so they cook quickly without browning too much before the middle is cooked through.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons nut oil
1 small onion, peeled and finely chopped
1 red chili, deseeded and finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 1/2 cups frozen corn, thawed
6 spring onions, trimmed and finely sliced (green onions)
1 egg, lightly beaten
salt and pepper, to taste
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
sweet chili sauce, to drizzle over (optional)
fresh coriander leaves (optional garnish)

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a non-stick pan, add the onion and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, until beginning to soften. Add the chilli and garlic and cook for a further minute. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Put the sweetcorn in a mixing bowl and lightly mash with a potato masher to break down the kernels a little.
  • Add the onion mixture, spring onions and egg to the mixing bowl.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper and stir to mix.
  • Sift in the flour and baking powder and stir to mix. The mixture is quite runny at this stage but don't worry- it firms up nicely when cooked!
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in the non-stick pan.
  • Drop four heaped spoonfuls of the sweetcorn mixture in once the oil is hot. Flatten them using a spatula until roughly 1cm/ 1/2inch thick- do this gently so the mixture does not stick to the spatula and break up the fritter.
  • Fry the fritters for 3-4 minutes, or until golden and crisp on the underside. Flip them using the spatula and fry the other side for 3-4 minutes until done.
  • Remove the fritters from the pan and keep warm.
  • Wipe the pan with kitchen paper and repeat from step 6 to cook the remaining fritters.
  • Serve drizzled with sweet chilli sauce or your favourite sauce/ dip. You could also garnish with chopped fresh coriander leaves.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh corn is essential for the best flavor in these fritters. If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen corn that has been thawed and drained.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the fritters tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Cook the fritters over medium heat. This will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Serve the fritters hot. Corn fritters are best when served hot out of the pan. You can top them with butter, honey, or syrup.

Conclusion:

Corn fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are a great way to use up fresh corn and are also a good source of fiber and vitamins. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a batch of corn fritters that the whole family will love.
