Prep The Ingredients
- Before we begin mixing the batter for our basic corn fritters, we prepare the ingredients. Let's take a sharp knife and finely chop the garlic, red onion, coriander/cilantro, spinach, and parsley. Then, cut the feta cheese into small cubes.
Make The Batter For Our Basic Corn Fritters
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well combined.1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp salt, freshly ground pepper to taste
- Add the eggs and mix until you get a thick paste-like consistency.2 eggs
- Next, add the cans of creamed and whole-kernel corn along with the finely chopped parsley. Gently mix the ingredients with a spatula. Try not to over-mix.1 can creamed-style corn, 1 can whole kernel corn, 1/2 bunch parsley
- At this point, you can start cooking the fritters (as described below), or divide the mixture into two bowls to add other flavors.

Mediterranean Corn Fritters

How To Fry The Corn Fritters
- Add a small amount of olive oil to the frying pan.1/4 to 1/2 cup olive oil
- Once the oil is hot, add the batter by using a tablespoon (one tablespoon makes one fritter). Flatten them slightly and fry on medium heat until you see a brown edge forming around the fritter.
- That is your sign to flip the fritter carefully. Reduce the heat to low and cook for a further 2 minutes. While the fritters are cooking, press them down gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
- Check if the underside is golden brown. If so, remove the fritters, put them on a plate, and keep them warm in the oven.
- Proceed with the rest of the batter. If necessary, add more olive oil to the pan.
- Serve with our tasty dip (see the notes) and a salad on the side. Enjoy!
