Spicy sweetcorn & onion fritters

Vegan, gluten-fee, wheat-free, egg-free, dairy-free, low fat

Fritters are a batter, normally deep fried with bread crumbs. I wanted to make some healthier fritters, using all natural ingredients and shallow frying them for a delicious moist flavour, without having them deep fried.

They are sweetcorn, coriander and onion based and i decided to cook them inside an onion ring.

This helps to keep the batter contained into a round shape and also adds extra flavour and texture!

The sweetcorn gives these little bites a nice crunch whilst the onion is moist and sweet, but the chilli flakes give a little kick. yum

This recipe is perfect for a lunch with salad, rice or to use as canape's at a party as they are simple, easy and quick to make.

I combined these tasty fritters with some homemade coriander drizzle!

Delicious!!!
