These lovely tangy leek and corn fritters with lime mayo make the perfect savory treat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (250ml) sweetcorn
- 2 leeks
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1 red chili finely chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Squeeze ½ lime
- 1 and ½ cups chickpea flour or plain flour
- Pinch pepper
- Large pinch salt
For the dressing
- Squeeze ½ lime
- 1 tbsp plant based mayonnaise alternatively use vegan soured cream or creme fraiche
Instructions
- Finely chop the leeks, chili and garlic.
- Add the chopped fresh ingredients and sweetcorn to a food processor along with 1½ cups flour, lime, olive oil and pinch of salt and pulse for around 20 seconds until a sticky texture forms.
- Leave for around 5 minutes for the flour to absorb the moisture.
- Slightly wet your hands and begin to form each fritter – you’re aiming for around the size of a palm .
- Add the fritters to a piping hot non-stick pan and fry on each side for around 5 minutes.
- Option – you can bake the fritters instead. Simply place on a baking tray and bake at 180ºC for around 30 minutes, turning over after around 20 minutes.
- Serve with the mayonnaise and lime dressing .
