Makes 25. Preparation time 5 minutes. Cooking time 10 minutes.
These spicy fritters also work well with fried bacon instead of sausage. Add some chopped piquanti peppers for a twist.
1 cup (120g) self-raising flour
1 egg
1/2 cup buttermilk or amasi
pinch of salt
2 tablespoons parsley or coriander, chopped
100 g chorizo or cabanossi, skinned and cubed
1 round of feta, crumbled
1 tin (410 g) whole-kernel mielies
pinch of ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
sunflower oil for deep-frying
• Put all the ingredients except the oil in a bowl and mix well.
• Heat the oil in a pot. The oil is hot enough when a spoonful of batter floats quickly to the top.
• Scoop spoons of batter into the hot oil and remove the fritters once they're golden brown and cooked through - it should take about 5 minutes per fritter. Slice one to check if it's cooked. If the outside is brown but it's not cooked through, the oil is too hot.
• Drain on a paper towel and serve with sweet chilli sauce or sour cream.
