Corn Fritters

Ingredients:

1 cup fresh corn kernels (about 2 corns)
1 tsp. paprika
1 medium egg
1/4 -1/2 cup Parmigiano Reggiano, grated
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. cilantro, chopped + more for garnish
1 scallion, chopped
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 dollop of sour cream for garnish
lime juice, freshly squeezed
olive or canola oil for pan frying

Preparation: 

Combine all ingredients except for sour cream and lime juice. This will yield about 4 medium-sized corn patties.

Cover the bottom of a medium pan with oil. Heat over medium-high heat. Pan fry for about 4-5 minutes in total. Turn it once halfway through cooking using a spatula. The color should be golden brown as you see in the image.

Garnish with sour cream, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice.

Cook’s Note: the batter will be a little runny and the shapes will not be perfect. However, you will enjoy this tasty side dish.

I hope you will give this recipe a try and let me know how the corn fritters come out.

Wine Pairing Suggestions: Sauvignon Blanc or an off-dry Riesling
When in doubt, always use Champagne or sparkling wines.

Happy Cooking & Sipping!
Happy New Year!
