Name of Recipe: Corn and Zucchini Fritters with Salsa
Number of People: 4
Ingredients:
50g butter
125ml milk
110g flour
2 eggs
210g creamed corn (as I didnt have creamed corn I used corn kernels and mixed up finely and added a little milk)
2 medium zucchini (240g)
vegetable oil for frying
Salsa
3 medium egg or roma tomatoes chopped (i used normal tomatoes)
2 medium avocados (500g) chopped coursely
1 small red onion (100g), chopped coursely (i used half a normal one)
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh coriander
Lime Yoghurt
250g greek yoghurt
The zest and juice of one lime
(this made extra so you can keep it for another dish later or just halve the recipe)
Preparation:
Prepare salsa (mix all the ingredients together). I did this by hand however I guess you coud do it all in thx but it would be more mushy and I would do the onion first then other ingredients and mix gently but its not much effort and I prefer to do this kind of fresh salsa by hand but each to their own..the flavour would still be the same and in any case its mosty covered by the lime yoghurt.
Prepare lime yoghurt - Zest one lime into yoghurt and then add juice. Mix to combine.
You can do this in the thermomix but I find it easier for once to do it quickly with a zester and mix all in a small bowl. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
Now onto the fritters..
Peel and cut in rough chunks the zucchini and chop for a few seconds on speed 5. Set aside.
Prepare 'creamed corn' if you dont have any..I added in a can of corn kernels (350-400g) minus the liquid and mixed it for 5-10 seconds on speed 5 (or until its chopped up finely and a little creamy). Add a little milk and mix again on speed 5 for 5-10 seconds. Set aside (I just added it to the same bowl as the zucchini).
Put butter in bowl and melt for 1 - 2 mins at 50°, speed 2 to melt the butter. Add the milk, flour and egg and mix to combine until smooth (a few seconds on speed 4 to 5 or a few turbo bursts).
Add the prepared zucchini and corn and remix for a few seconds on speed 4 to combine.
Heat oil in a frying pan and shallow fry heaped tablespoons of the mixture until finished.
Serve on a plate with heaped tablespoons of the salsa mixture and some homemade lime yoghurt.
Bon appetit!

Tips/Hints: watch the amount of oil as they tend to absorb it a little so just add enough to give them that crispy exterieur
Note - converted from two books for the most part..from a WW minibook I got in Dubai 'Fishcakes & Crispybakes' and a Marabout one in French 'Recettes Vite Pretes' which seems to be the French conversion of WW Books!
