Quick Corn and Zucchini Fritters with Golden Cheese and Lime Yogurt Sauce

Instructions

1. 1

   1. Place the shredded zucchini in a clean towel or between paper towels and squeeze well to remove as much liquid as possible. Transfer it to a large bowl.

2. 2

   2. Add the corn kernels, red onion, shredded cheddar cheese, beaten eggs, all-purpose flour, baking powder, smoked paprika, 3 g salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix until you have a thick, even batter.

3. 3

   3. In a small bowl, make the sauce by mixing the plain Greek yogurt with the lime zest, 15 ml (1 tbsp) lime juice, 2 g salt, and half of the chopped chives. Set aside.

4. 4

   4. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. If you want to keep the fritters warm, you can preheat the oven to 200°F / 95°C.

5. 5

   5. Add 15 ml (1 tbsp) olive oil to the skillet. Shape 4 fritters using about 2 heaping tablespoons of batter each and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden and set.

6. 6

   6. Repeat with the remaining olive oil and batter to make 4 more fritters, adjusting the heat if they brown too quickly. If needed, keep them warm in the oven at 200°F / 95°C while you finish.

7. 7

   7. Serve the fritters hot with the lime yogurt sauce spooned over or on the side, and finish with the remaining chopped chives.

8. 8

   8. If desired, let the fritters rest for 1 minute before serving so they set a little more and hold their shape.
