Spicy Corn Fritters with Avocado Dip

Servings: 4 servings
Author: Chef Robin Goldstein

Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh corn, off the cob
  • 1 cup green onion, chopped
  • 1 cup cornmeal
  • ½ cup garbanzo bean flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne
  • 1½ teaspoons sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Ground black pepper
  • Olive oil for frying

For Avocado Dip

  • 1 ripe avocado, skin and pit removed
  • 6 each basil leaves, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime
  • 6 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt + Ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce

Instructions

In a food processor, puree the green onion with 1 cup of corn until smooth. Add the remaining 1 cup of corn and cornmeal to processor and pulse just a few times to mix. Transfer mixture to a medium bowl. Add garbanzo bean flour, baking soda, garlic, cumin, cayenne, salt, and pepper and stir to incorporate. On medium heat fry spoonfuls of the mixture in batches in a large skillet with enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Pan-fry 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Makes about 12 medium-size fritters. For a lower fat alternative, bake the fritters on a lightly oiled pan in the oven at 400°F. Serve with avocado basil dip.

    FOR THE AVOCADO DIP Mash the avocado with the basil, lime juice, water, oil, salt, pepper, and hot sauce and serve alongside the fritters.
