Corn fitters are so delightful! The beautiful thing about them is they are appropriate for breakfast, lunch or dinner! We suggest making some for dinner and saving a few for a delicious breakfast topped with a poached egg or pack them up for lunch at work and top with hommus and rocket. This is a delicious recipe that we have adapted from the Good Chef Bad Chef website.
If you would like to make these vegetarian, simply omit the pancetta. We also topped ours with some spicy Roza’s Gourmet Sauces Hot Lover which is a perfect accompaniment. This recipe is completely dairy and gluten free.

- 1/2 cup of roughly chopped pancetta (optional)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 tbls coriander stems, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 2 corn cobs, kernels removed
- ½ cup each of rice flour and maize flour or besan (chick pea) flour
- 1 tsp sea salt (or to taste)
- 1 tsp cracked pepper
- 4 eggs
- 2 tbls rice bran or olive oil
- 1 lime, quartered

Mushroom and Mung Bean Salad
METHOD
In a heavy based pan sauté your onions, pancetta (optional) and coriander stems in the oil over a medium heat until translucent. Add the garlic and corn and stir for a few seconds. Remove from the heat and set aside.
In a separate bowl place the flours and seasoning, then add the corn mixture and a few tablespoons of Roza’s Gourmet Sauces Dairy Free Pesto and stir to combine.
Finish off by adding the eggs and stirring, if too thick add a touch of soy milk.
Heat a large, heavy based pan with the oil. Pour about ½ cup batter into the pan and let them cook gently. Allow to turn golden brown then flip. Drain on a kitchen towel. They need more time than other fritters as the flours take longer to cook.
Combine all salad ingredients in a separate bowl and mix through Roza’s Gourmet Sauces Horseradish Dressing.
Serve fritters with salad, Roza’s Gourmet Sauces Hot Lover, coriander leaves and a lime wedge.
