Yes. Another Pinterest Repin. This one is my SAVORY board cover so I just had to try it. It's so pretty. It's so yummy. I will now post the original ingredients, but know that I was able to pull things from food storage and, by rehydrating the freeze-dried corn, I had perfect kernels for this recipe, and my buttermilk was from a mix. Also, I didn't have a scallion but I did have a leek, so I substituted that and took out the minced garlic. Now, there are two different recipes here, one for the corn cakes and one for the Chopped Tomato & Avocado Salsa. Pay attention and be sure to get all of your ingredients for both recipes. Pay ATTENTION...I emphasize this because I put the red onion in the salsa instead of the corn cakes because I was trying to watch the Republican National Convention at the same time.
Corn Cakes Ingredients:3 ears of corn, shucked1 cup all-purpose flour1/2 cup cornmeal1/4 cup diced red onion1 teaspoon baking powder1/2 teaspoon baking sodaSea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste2 tablespoons well-shaken (not stirred) buttermilk (sorry, just had to use that James Bond reference)2 tablespoons unsalted butter, meltedCanola oil, for frying
1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a brown paper bag.
2. Cut the corn from the cobs into a large bowl. Scrape the stripped cobs with the back of the knife or spoon to release the juices into the bowl.
3. Place 2 cups of the corn kernels into a food processor. Pulse several times until the corn is slightly pureed but still chunky. Scrape into the bowl with remaining kernels.
4. Add flour, cornmeal, onion, basil, baking soda, baking powder, salt and pepper to the corn. Stir to mix.
5. Add the eggs, buttermilk, and butter, and stir just to combine--do not overmix.
6. Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add just enough canola oil to cover the bottom, and heat until sizzling hot.
7. Scoop the batter onto the skillet, one heaping tablespoon at a time. To avoid overcrowding, do in batches of 4 or 5 at a time. Fry the cakes 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown.
8. Drain on the lined baking sheet, and place in the oven to keep warm while cooking the rest of the cakes. Serve warm with LARGE spoonful of the Chopped Tomato & Avocado Salsa.
Chopped Tomato & Avocado Salsa Ingredients: 1 large tomato, cored and chopped1 scallion, trimmed and minced1/2 jalapeno pepper, cored, seeded and diced1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro1 garlic clove, mincedJuice of 1 lime1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1. Place all ingredients, except avocado, in a bowl and stir to mix. Refrigerate in an airtight container until ready to serve (for up to 2 days).
2. Just before serving, add the avocado and mix gently.
