Sweetcorn Fritters with Poached Egg & Avocado Salsa
One of Ainsley’s favourite brunches made super easy with our Caribbean Creations Sweetcorn Fritter Mix* – just add a can of sweetcorn and water for light and fluffy fritters every time! Tasty with a little bit of a spice kick they’re sure to become a favourite.
Method
Combine all of the salsa ingredients in a bowl and season to taste.
Prepare the sweetcorn fritters according to the packet instructions and fry for 2-3 minutes on either side until crisp and golden.
Meanwhile poach your eggs one at a time in a large pan of simmering, not boiling water, with a drop of vinegar – stir the water to create a gentle whirlpool and gently tip your egg into the centre (it’s easier to crack your egg onto a saucer to do this). Cook for 3-4 minutes, lift out with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
Serve the fritters topped with a poached egg and the salsa on the side. Finish with a splash of Ainsley Hot Pepper Sauce or Ainsley Curried Pepper Ketchup and a scattering of coriander.
