Ingredients
Salsa:
- 2 medium-size ears of corn
- 1 medium-size tomato (1/2 pound), cored, seeded and finely diced
- 1 scallion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1-1/2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1-1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Fritters:
- 3 medium-size ears of corn
- 1/4 cup cornmeal
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil for frying
- Salsa: Cut kernels off corn; you should have about 1-1/2 cups. Toss with tomato, scallion, parsley, garlic, lime juice, oil, salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Fritters: Cut kernels off 2 of the ears of corn (about 1-1/2 cups). Grate kernels off remaining ear of corn using a box grater. Use the dull side of a knife to scrape any remaining pulp into bowl; you should have about 1/2 cup grated kernels and pulp. Add cornmeal, flour, egg, buttermilk, baking soda, salt, pepper and cayenne to bowl; stir until combined.
- Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Drop batter by 1/4-cupfuls into skillet and press with spatula to flatten. Fry 1 to 2 minutes per side or until golden brown. Remove to a paper-towel-lined plate and serve warm with salsa.
