When I see corn fritters on a cafe menu, odds are that's what I'm ordering. They're often presented in a golden stack with salad greens and a dipping sauce, and crowned with a perfectly poached egg.
As for making them at home, the good news is that they require few ingredients and are hard to get wrong. As delicious as they are eaten simply with an egg or a smear of avocado, it's easy to elevate them to special meal status by adding extra ingredients and sides. One ingredient I include in my corn fritter recipe that you might not find at your local Cafe is amaranth grain. It gives the fritters a gorgeous texture - crunchy and golden on the outside while still being light and fluffy. Amaranth also gives the fritters extra nutrition and heartiness. Try making these corn fritters the next time you're enjoying a go-slow weekend morning. They're truly delicious!
Whether it's a classic Chilli Con Carne with beef, or a vegetarian version loaded with luscious kidney beans or black beans, a hot bowl of chilli is hard to beat. At its base is a rich tomato sauce spiced with cayenne, cumin, oregano, chilli and garlic, it's a time honoured staple, with endless variations.
Enjoy chilli with rice, or use it to fill tortillas, tacos or quesadillas. We love them ladled onto smashed baked potatoes, and topped with sour cream, cheese and hot sauce. My inclusion of cocoa powder and coffee is not common, but trust me & give it a try! The cocoa mellows the acidity of the tomatoes and adds a smooth, velvety richness. The coffee adds a sharper note and compliments the other spices. While neither ingredient makes the finished dish taste at all like chocolate or coffee, both lend the dish a background complexity that truly makes the recipe sing. The recipe provides all you need for both a vegetarian and beef version. |
