Smoky Mexican Fritters
Ingredients
  • 1 pouch Merchant Gourmet Mexican Style Rice
  • 1 x 198g tin sweetcorn, drained
  • 1 courgette, grated
  • 4 tbsp plain flour
  • 125ml plant-based milk
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges, to serve
  • Sriracha Mayo Dip
  • 3 tbsp plant-based mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp Sriracha
  1. Grate the courgette into a bowl and squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible.
  2. Add the Merchant Gourmet Mexican-Style Grains, sweetcorn, smoked paprika, garlic powder, flour, plant-based milk and a good pinch of seasoning.
  3. Mix until you have a thick batter. If the mixture feels too wet, add a little extra flour.
  4. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat.
  5. Spoon tablespoons of mixture into the pan and flatten slightly into fritters.
  6. Fry for 3–5 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp.
  7. Meanwhile, stir together the plant-based mayonnaise and Sriracha in a small bowl.
  8. Serve the fritters warm with the dip and lime wedges.
