Could you please tell me what went into those fabulous corn fritters?
Of course! I microwaved half a bag of frozen corn and let cool down. Then sliced finely 2-3 scallions, and cut some roasted piquillo peppers, about 3, added 2 large eggs, 60g of Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons grated parmigiano, a microplaned clove of garlic, some Turkish Pul biber or other chili flakes or paprika, some salt and to finish some panko to keep it together. Next time, I will blitz like 1/3 of everything so it will hold better, or increase to 3 eggs and proportionally increase the parmigiano and panko. Better to chill in the fridge for some time. I think a good way to see if it will hold is to make quenelles and let it rest for a little in the fridge and see how they hold, if after the rest they hold well the shape they are good to fry. At least this is what I am planning to do the next time, because the taste was really good and they asked me to make them again. This time they were a little fragile.
@Shain, I love very much your dinner...big fan of dry favas and could eat zucchini (or eggplants) every day!
But in all honestly I like all the dinners!
Today I made a small pan of pasta with zucchini and chickpeas. Then we had some short ribs on the cast iron grill and a salad. And since I made a big batch of chickpeas, I made some vegetables sliders, just to store in the freezer/fridge. I keep them for myself, nobody else seems to like them, I really adore them and make a variety of with lentils/mung beans, milled, lupini beans and they are very handy for breakfast or to add to a salad for lunch.
