Tuna and Corn Fritters with Yoghurt Sauce

Fritters. Something that I thoroughly enjoy eating but have struggled to get 100% right. I’m either putting too much flour, or adding milk when I don’t have to or just the combination of flavours doesn’t work out.

Ages ago when I was super lazy but hungry for something healthy, I would just eat tinned tuna, corn kernels with salt and pepper. It served its purpose but was just not enough to make a meal and so stemmed the idea to incorporate this flavour combo into fritters.

This recipe has just four ingredients + any additional seasoning you want to add. I decided to serve this up with a quick yoghurt sauce I threw together. I will provide the recipe for the sauce I made as well.

Here it is if you want to have a go! Fritters are dairy free but can be made gluten free with a simple flour swap.

Tuna and Corn Fritters (yields 2 large or 4 small fritters)

what you’re going to need

Fritters

1 x 75 g tinned tuna

1 x 75 g tin corn kernels

2 tablespoons plain flour (or gluten free alternative)

1 egg

salt and pepper, to season

1 tablespoon olive oil for frying

Yoghurt Sauce (serves 2) 

1/4 cup plain greek yoghurt (I use Jalna)

1/3 cup cucumber, grated and squeezed to remove as much liquid as possible

1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

generous squeeze fresh lime

pinch of mixed herbs

sea salt, to season

Method

1. In a small bowl, add all ingredients for the yoghurt sauce and mix until well combined. Place in the fridge ready for serving
2. In another bowl, add all the ingredients and mix until well combined.
3. Heat up olive oil in a fry pan on a medium heat. Using a ladle or large spoon, place even amounts of batter into the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown.
4. On a plate, place a large dollop of the yoghurt sauce then the fritters on top. Garnish with additional lime juice and parsley. Serve immediately.
