A fabulous side to your favorite Southwestern fare, these lightly browned corn cakes do double duty as an appetizer.<\/p>\n
Ingredients
\n 1 1\/2 cups corn kernels (frozen or canned)
\n 3\/4 cup milk
\n 1\/2 cup ricotta cheese
\n 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
\n 2 tablespoons minced fresh herbs (basil, parsley, cilantro or chives all work well)
\n 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
\n 3\/4 cup all-purpose flour
\n 1\/4 cup corn meal
\n 1\/2 teaspoon baking soda
\n 1\/2 teaspoon salt
\n Black pepper to taste
\n 1 to 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for cooking the corn cakes
\n 1 avocado, peeled and sliced or diced<\/p>\n
Preparation
\n 1. Thaw or drain corn kernels. In a large mixing bowl, blend together all of the ingredients except the vegetable oil and avocado.
\n 2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pour 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter into the hot skillet for each corn cake. Cook 3 or 4 cakes at a time, so as not to overcrowd the skillet. Cook the corn cakes for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, flipping when the edges become firm. Keep cooked corn cakes in an ovenproof dish in a warm oven until all the cakes have been made. Serve warm with avocado and your favorite prepared salsa.<\/p>\n
Serving Suggestion
\nA tray of warm corn cakes served with bowls of chopped avocado, lime wedges, sour cream and salsa makes a great Game Day snack. These are also a delicious side with pulled barbecued chicken or pork, or baked tofu with Southwestern spices.<\/p>\n
