Ingredients
- 200g small vine tomatoes
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- 285g tinned sweetcorn, drained weight
- 2 eggs
- 25g coriander (leaves and stems), roughly chopped
- 120g left over corn pangrattato (or use plain corn)
- 1 cup self-raising flour (or 1 cup plain flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder)
- 1⁄4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons rapeseed oil, plus extra for frying
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 8 rashers bacon
- 1 ripe avocado, cut into quarters, to serve
Directions
- Step 1 Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius fan force. Place the tomatoes in a baking tray, season and drizzle with the olive oil. Cook for 20-30 minutes, or until soft.
- Step 2 Place the sweetcorn, eggs and coriander in a medium sized bowl and season. Blend with a hand-mixer until smooth.
- Step 3 Add the corn pagrattato, self-raising flour and milk and combine completely.
- Step 4 Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease with rapeseed oil. Using a 1⁄3 cup measure cook 4 fritters at a time. Flipping when the edges look cooked and there are some air bubbles appearing on the surface.
- Step 5 In a separate pan, heat two tablespoons of rapeseed oil and the maple syrup over medium-high heat. Add the bacon rashers and cook until crisp and sticky (about 2 minutes each side).
- Step 6 Divide the fritters among plates, layering with the maple bacon. Add a side of vine tomatoes and avocado. Garnish with a sprinkle of sea salt and serve immediately.
