Corn and dill
fritters
If your kids are fussy eaters you'll know how hard it
is to get them to eat anything even remotely healthy.
Michael Diacono uses sweet corn, cheese and eggs
for these fritters that are always a hit with the little
ones as well as their parents.
• 150g corn
• 1 egg, beaten
• Salt and pepper
• ½ tsp chilli flakes (optional)
• 150g flour
• 125ml Benna fresh milk
• 100g Pecorino, grated
• Handful dill, finely chopped
• Handful parsley, finely
chopped
• 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
INGREDIENTS METHOD
1. Mix the corn with the beaten egg and season
with salt and pepper, garlic and chilli flakes, if
using.
2. Add the flour and mix well.
3. Add the milk and the pecorino.
4. Add the fresh herbs and mix well.
5. In a deep frying pan melt the butter with the
olive oil and when the fat is hot add separate
tbsps of batter to the pan, leaving plenty of
space between each on so that they don't stick
together.
6. Fry for a couple of mins until golden, flip over
and fry the other side until golden.
7. Remove from the pan and place on kitchen
paper for a few mins to drain excess fat.
8. Serve with potato wedges and pita bread
