People talking
An easy zucchini, carrot and onion vegetarian pancake style of fritter, served with some bottled tomato based salsa, a vege salsa and a dob of sour cream. These fritters make a great vegetarian lunch or dinner and make for a good budget stretcher too. Seems like a lot of ingredients, but you can prepare the salad ingredients while you are chopping the vege for the fritters. This recipe was created for Dining on A $ Competition 2011- using competition ingredients of zucchini, purple onion, cumin, egg and bottled salsa. THis recipe can be made gluten-free by using a blended gluten-free all-purpose flour and gluten-free baking powder (My photos posted to this recipe were gluten-free fritters)

- 1⁄2 cup purple onion, finely diced (about one small or 1/2 larger sized onion)
- 2 teaspoons oil
- 1 -2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour (I used a store bought flour to make these fritters) or 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (I used a store bought flour to make these fritters)
- 3 teaspoons baking powder (ensure gluten-free if required for a gf diet)
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- oil, extra for cooking

Salsa
- 1⁄2 cup corn kernel (canned or defrosted from frozen corn kernels)
- 1⁄4 cup purple onion, finely chopped
- 1⁄4 cup cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 pinch salt (to taste)
- 1 pinch pepper (to taste)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon lime juice
-
Other Toppings
- 1 (8 ounce) bottle salsa, jarred tomato based salsa of your choice (check for gf if required for diet)
- 1⁄2 cup sour cream
directions
- Add the grated zucchini, carrots, 1/2 cup corn kernels, chopped cilantro, salt and pepper to a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
- Add the 1/2 cup chopped purple onions to a small frypan or skillet along with the 2 teaspoons of oil and one to two teaspoons of ground cumin. Stir over a medium heat until the onions have softened.
- Add the onions to the veges in the mixing bowl and stir to mix thoroughly.
- Using a smaller bowl- add the flour and the baking powder - aerate and mix using a whisk.
- Stir the flour into the vegetable mixture.
- Add two eggs and the milk to your now empty mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
- Add the eggs to the vegetable mixture and mix thoroughly (If the mixture is too thick- add in some extra milk or if too thin-add in some extra flour. The consistency of fritters can vary a little just depending on the moisture content of the ingredients used).
- Heat a large pan and add some extra oil for pan-frying the fritters. A medium high heat should be used.
- Drop large spoonfuls of the mixture into the hot pan. Cook fritters a few minutes each side, until nicely golden and cooked through. You may need to cook in batches- place cooked fritters into a warmed oven, cover with foil.
- While cooking the fritters you can put the salsa together- combine all salsa ingredients. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- To serve- place two or three fritters into the centre of each plate, Spoon on some bottled salsa, top with your fresh salsa and a dob of sour cream.

Loved the combo of veggies, and the toppings were a nice way to dress up the fritters - both for presentation and for flavor! These came out a little doughier than other fritters we've tried, and I think we prefer them with a little less flour so that the veggie flavors are more pronounced, but that's simply personal preference. Thanks for sharing! PAC Fall '11.Reply
