Corn, Coconut and Herb Fritters with Avocado and Rocket

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.

To serve: Place 2 fritters on each plate and top with rocket leaves, sliced avocado and a dollop of crème fraîche. Garnish with coriander and a lemon wedge and serve immediately. Serves 6
