Serves: 6
INGREDIENTS
350 ml coconut cream
1⁄2 cup long thread coconut, lightly toasted
4 spring onions, finely sliced including some green
1⁄2 cup packed coriander leaves, chopped
1 1⁄2 cups cooked, fresh sweetcorn kernels or 1 x 410 gram tin sweetcorn kernels
1 egg, separated 2/3 cup self raising flour
sea salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup crème fraîche
2 tablespoons chopped coriander
2 avocados rocket leaves
METHOD
Combine the coconut cream, coconut, spring onions, coriander, sweetcorn, egg yolk and the flour in a large bowl. Season well. Set aside for 20 minutes.
Beat the egg white to firm peaks and gently fold into the batter.
Place a large sauté pan over medium heat and brush with a little butter. Use a 1⁄4 cup of mixture for each fritter and cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the underside is nicely golden. Turn and cook the other side. Place on a wire rack in a low oven to keep warm and repeat with the remaining mixture.
Combine the crème fraîche and coriander and season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
