Corn and Zucchini Fritters


Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded zucchini, about 2 medium-size zucchini
  • 2-3 cups corn kernels, cut from about 2 ears
  • ¾ cup chopped green onions, about 6 green onions or 1/2 yellow onion, minced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup chickpea flour
  • 1/4 cup cornmeal
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk or yogurt (optional, omit if dairy free)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt & pepper
  • Water to proper consistency
  • High heat oil like sunflower or avocado oil
  • Harvest Social Trio of Sauces, salsa, sour cream, and/or avocado (optional for serving)

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine shredded zucchini, corn, green onions, eggs, buttermilk (or water), garlic, cumin, oregano, thyme, salt & pepper. Stir together until well combined. Add chickpea flour and cornmeal and mix well. Allow to sit for at least 5 minutes. This step is important because the flour will absorb the moisture from the zucchini and create
a batter.

Warm a large skillet over medium heat. Grease with preferred cooking oil then scoop out 1/4 cup of the zucchini mixture at a time into the skillet-an ice cream scoop works well for this. Cook for about 3-5 minutes allowing the fritters to firm up and become brown before flipping. Serve warm with the Harvest Social Trio of Sauces, salsa, sour cream,  and/or avocado.
