Instructions

 For the Corn Fritters 

  • Place shredded zucchini in a strainer and coat with 1/4 tsp of sea salt. 
  • Let it sit for 10 minutes and then squeeze the excess water out of the zucchini shreds with your hands. 
  • Place zucchini in a large mixing bowl with corn, bell pepper, shallot, all-purpose flour, corn meal, nutritional yeast, and 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt, ground pepper, paprika and nutmeg. Stir to combine well. Stir in non-dairy milk and combine into a thick batter. 
  • Heat a non-stick pan to medium hear with 3 tbsp of vegetable oil. 
  • Use a small scoop of batter for each fritter and shape into a patty with our hands. 
  • Place 2-3 fritters in the pan at a time and fry 1 1/2 - 2 minutes per side, until golden brown on the outside.
  • Add another 2 tbsp of oil to the pan once you've fried about 9 fritters, or the oil has evaporated. 
  • Fritters can be kept warm in a 300 degree oven. 

 Make Jalapeno Cream 

  • In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, sour cream & lemon juice. Beat until thickened and creamy in texture. 
  • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. 

 To Serve 

  • Top each fritter with a dollop of jalapeno cream. Drizzle with OLA Savor.
