Corn and Zucchini Fritters
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded zucchini, about 2 medium-size zucchini
- 2-3 cups corn kernels, cut from about 2 ears
- ¾ cup chopped green onions, about 6 green onions or 1/2 yellow onion, minced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup chickpea flour
- 1/4 cup cornmeal
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup buttermilk or yogurt (optional, omit if dairy free)
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 Tablespoon fresh or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt & pepper
- Water to proper consistency
- High heat oil like sunflower or avocado oil
- Harvest Social Trio of Sauces, salsa, sour cream, and/or avocado (optional for serving)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine shredded zucchini, corn, green onions, eggs, buttermilk (or water), garlic, cumin, oregano, thyme, salt & pepper. Stir together until well combined. Add chickpea flour and cornmeal and mix well. Allow to sit for at least 5 minutes. This step is important because the flour will absorb the moisture from the zucchini and create
a batter.
Warm a large skillet over medium heat. Grease with preferred cooking oil then scoop out 1/4 cup of the zucchini mixture at a time into the skillet-an ice cream scoop works well for this. Cook for about 3-5 minutes allowing the fritters to firm up and become brown before flipping. Serve warm with the Harvest Social Trio of Sauces, salsa, sour cream, and/or avocado.
