Corn Fritters With Crispy Bacon, Roasted Tomatoes & Avocado, Corn Fritters for breakfast is a cherished event in our house We both love this dish ALOT I would go so far as to say this is my favourite breakfast of all time And looking around the interwebs it looks like I’m not the only one When we lived in Sydney we were frequent visitors to Bill Granger’s restaurants where this dish was one of the stars In London I’ve been slowly perfecting it, doing my very best to faithfully recreate each element used the Corn Fritters with avocado salsa recipe in bills open kitchen as the base However in his restaurant Bill also serves his corn fritters / avocado salsa with crispy grilled bacon, oven roasted tomatoes and fresh spinach These elements really make the dish complete for me (but of course this a fantastic vegetarian dish sans Bacon) So here is my homage to Bill Granger and his wonderful Corn Fritters with crispy bacon, oven roasted tomatoes, baby spinach and spicy avocado salsa blogspot com/2010/04/corn-fritters-with-crispy-bacon-roasted html, How about cornmeal instead of flour? Seems like a natural The photos look darned good , Hello! Tx for yr recipe & I cant wait to try it 🙂 can this be frozen ? Tx??

Start With the Tomatoes: Preheat the Oven to 180c Cut Each Tomato in Half Lengthwise. Place on a Roasting Tray, Cut Side Up. Drizzle With Olive Oil and Season Generously With Salt and Pepper (and Tiny Pinch of Dried Herbs If You Fancy). Roast For 20-30 Minutes. For the Final 10 Mins - Move the Tomatoes to Bottom Rack and Turn the Grill On. Lay Out Your Rashers of Bacon (suggest 2 Per Person) Onto a Grilling Rack. Grill Until Crisp and Crunchy Turning Regularly. Watch Carefully to Ensure Bacon Doesnt Burn. Ideally Bacon Should Be Stiff and Can Practically Be Snapped Like a Biscuit. Remove Both Bacon and Tomatoes and Put Aside. Turn Oven Down to 120c (for Keeping Corn Fritters Warm Whilst Cooking). |

Place Half of the Corn Kernels and the Onion, Eggs, Coriander, Flour, Baking Powder, Salt and Pepper in a Food Processor (or in a Bowl With Hand Held Whizzer) and Process Until Combined. This Is an Important Step! Whizzing the Corn Up in This Way Gives the Binding Agents a Distinct Corn Flavour Which I Find Lacking in Other Fritters Which Do not Do This. I Believe This Is One of the Secrets That Make Bill's Fritters So Damn Good! Place in a Large Bowl, Add the Remaining Corn and Stir to Combine. |
