These smoky and spicy fritters are from ” Cook as You Are ” by Ruby Tandoh. They make an easy lunch or breakfast dish and are loosely based on Jamaican salt cod fitters. Serve with a dressed green salad.
Ingredients
- 200 g tinned Tuna
- 150 g sweetcorn defrosted if frozen
- 150-200 g carrots peeled and coarsely grated
- 200 g plain flour
- 6 spring onions trimmed and thinly sliced
- 1-2 tbsps chipotle paste to taste
- 2 1/2 tsps baking powder
- a pinch salt
- 225 ml water
- 2-3 tbsps olive or vegetable oil for frying
Servings:
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl combine the tuna, sweetcorn, grated carrot, flour, spring onions, chipotle paste, baking powder and salt. Pour in the water, stirring as you go, to create a thick but easily spoonable batter, just binding the tuna and vegetables together.
- Place a large frying pan over a medium high heat and add a tablespoon of the oil. Once the oil is hot use a large speen to dollop out spoonfuls of the mixture into the hot pan and pat them down so they are roughly 1 cm thick. Cook in batches of 5 or 6 fritters. Fry for 3 minutes on each side, turning with a fish slice.
- Once cooked, keep the first batch of fritters warm under kitchen foil while you fry the rest of the mixture in batches. Serve hot with the green salad.
