Anna's Sweetcorn Fritters

A delicious and cheap recipe using tinned food.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 tin of sweetcorn
  • 1 tin of butter beans or chickpeas
  • 1 egg
  • 4 heaped tbsp plain flour
  • 1 tin of tuna
  • 2 pinches of salt (1/2 tsp)
  • 1- 2 tbsp oil

METHOD:

  1. In a bowl add your tinned butterbeans or chickpeas, sprinkle with the salt and mash with your hands or a potato masher until most of the beans are crushed and broken up.
  2. Next - add the tinned sweetcorn and tinned tuna then combine with a spoon.
  3. Once mixed together, crack the egg into the same bowl and stir together.
  4. Once the egg is mixed together with the tinned ingredients, add the flour and combine until all of it sticks together and forms a batter-like consistency, ready to make your fritters.
  5. In a pan on a medium heat, add your oil. To check it's hot drop a small amount of the fritter in the pan to see if it sizzles.
  6. Finally - When the pan is hot, mould your fritters with your hands into a small burger/patty shape then add to the pan ( this mixture should make 4 good sized fritters).
  7. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown, then serve and enjoy!.
