Corn fritters

Makes 8-10

Ingredients
The kernels from 3 cobs of cooked corn, this should be about 2 cups. You can use frozen corn that has been defrosted or canned corn. Whatever suits you.
¾ -1 cup of rice flour
2 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
Salt and pepper
1/3 cup of milk

Method
Mix the corn, salt and pepper, eggs, baking powder and ½ a cup of the rice flour, mix well. Add more flour as needed the mixture needs to be really thick.

In a large pan heat a little oil. Spoon your mix in, about 4-5cm in diameter. Cook on a medium heat until golden brown underneath, then turn over and cook the other side. They don’t take long!
You can make these the night before and just heat in the morning. They are good in a child’s lunch box.

This is your basic mix- this to add to the mix include grated zucchini, diced red capsicum (which is what I used in there) diced mushrooms or other cooked vegetables like sweet potato, broccoli, grated haloumi, herbs like chives, parsley, basil. You can add jalapenos, diced olives, sundried tomato, cooked diced bacon…so many thing you can do here!
To serve you can do bacon, avocado and tomato. Just cook your bacon and tomato together in the pan. You can top with smoked salmon, sweet chilli sauce and sour cream. Top with poached, fried or scrambled egg and wilted spinach.


With your mix just remember that whatever you add it may have a higher water content which will make the mix more watery- when you are ready to cook you need the consistency to be really thick, if it’s not just add more rice flour. Easy as.

Sausage and vegetable bake



Virtually no prep dinner- serves 4

Ingredients

6 sausages -1/2 kg - I used  macro organic sausages - cut these in half
2 zucchinis -cut into 4
2 cobs of corn -cut into 4
250g punnet of grape/cherry/petite tomatoes-leave whole. If using big tomatoes just cut in half.
250g button mushrooms-leave whole
I like to put a heads worth of garlic in and a shake of dried thyme and oregano

Method

Put everything in a roasting tray and drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper, bake at 200C for 10 minutes, or until your sausages are cooked. EASY!!
I had some leftover cubed cooked sweet potato so I roughly mashed in the pan and cooked with some butter as a hash.
