Corn, Jalapeño & Chorizo Fritters w Zingy Avo Sauce

Method

Fritters

Heat the oil in a small frypan. Add the chorizo and fry until crispy. 

In a large bowl, mix together the chorizo and all remaining fritter ingredients. 

Line an oven tray with paper towels. 

Heat 4cm of oil in a small saucepan. Once the temperature has reached 180ºC, take tablespoon sized spoonfuls of the batter and drop it in the oil. If you have a small ice cream/cookie dough scoop, use that. Fry for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Rotate them regularly with a slotted spoon then drain on paper towels. 

Avocado Sauce

Place all ingredients in a food processor and blitz until smooth. Season to taste. 

Cook’s note: if you don’t have a thermometer, drop a small amount of batter into the oil, if it sizzles and floats, the oil is hot enough.
