Asparagus And Corn Fritters Recipes

ASPARAGUS AND CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Saute 1/2 bunch asparagus (trimmed and thinly sliced) and 3/4 cup frozen fire-roasted corn in olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until crisp-tender, 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl; let cool. Stir in 2 beaten eggs, 3/4 cup grated pepper jack, 1/4 cup flour and a big pinch of salt. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Drop the batter (about 2 tablespoons per fritter) into the skillet, gently flatten and cook until golden, about 3 minutes per side.

FRESH ASPARAGUS PATTIES

Steps:

• Bring a pot of well salted water to a boil over high heat.
• Trim off up to 1 inch of the woody bottom parts of the asparagus. Cut asparagus in half if necessary to fit your pot.
• Transfer asparagus to the boiling water. Boil until slightly tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer asparagus to a bowl of very cold water using a slotted spoon. Let asparagus cool completely.
• Grate Pecorino Romano cheese finely using a rasp grater.
• Drain asparagus well and slice into very small pieces. Place in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add cayenne pepper, grated Pecorino Romano cheese, and bread crumbs. Mix in 1 egg to start. Add the second egg and continue mixing until well combined.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Scoop some of the asparagus mixture into the hot oil; flatten with a fork. Cook until bottom is browned, about 4 minutes. Flip over and brown the other side, about 4 minutes more.

CORN FRITTERS CANADIAN STYLE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper. Make a well in the center, and pour in the egg, milk, whole kernel corn, and cream-style corn. Mix until all ingredients are combined.
• Heat the lard in a skillet over medium-high heat. Drop tablespoon-sized dollops of batter onto the hot skillet, and fry for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Serve with butter and salt, and a cold glass of milk.

CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in medium bowl. Stir in eggs and milk just until flour mixture has all been moistened. Mixture should be lumpy. Fold in corn. Melt 1 teaspoon shortening in a large skillet over medium heat. Drop corn batter by tablespoonfuls into skillet and fry until brown on both sides and centers feel firm when gently pressed, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to platter and keep warm. Repeat until all batter has been used, adding shortening as needed. Serve with honey or syrup, if desired.

CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• In a medium-sized skillet heat the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. In a medium-sized bowl combine the corn, flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, paprika, green onion, milk, and egg.
• Drop the batter with a 1/4 cup slowly into the oil. Fry on each side until golden for 2-3 minutes. Carefully remove with a spatula and serve.

ASPARAGUS FRITTERS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus spears, and cook until tender but not mushy, about 8 minutes. Drain, and rinse under cold water to cool them down. Drain and dry the spears, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Whisk together the eggs, grated cheese, onion, bread crumbs, flour, and salt in a large bowl. Stir in the asparagus pieces.
• Heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. (The oil is ready when a drop of batter sizzles on contact.) Drop 1/4-cup rounds of the asparagus batter into the hot oil, flattening if necessary, to make flat cakes. Cook until golden on the underside, about 2 minutes, then flip, and fry until the fritters are cooked through, about 2 minutes more. Drain the fritters on paper towels, and season with salt.

CORN AND WILD RICE FRITTERS

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients except oil and salsa. Add oil to heavy skillet to a depth of ¼ inch.

• Drop small amounts (2 tablespoons or up to 1/3 cup) of batter into the oil, cooking a few fritters at a time.
• Cook each batch until brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels and serve with salsa.
