Zucchini & corn fritters

January 11, 2016 By travellingoven 2 Comments

It’s such a dark and gloomy Monday here in the mountains that I definitely need something to brighten up my mood! And for me one of the best ways to do that is to make delicious food, shoot it and eat it lol! 😀 It works every time so why today should be any different! That’s why I’ve been working on this recipe for Zucchini & corn fritters and I already feel better.


The combination of zucchini and corn is so delicious and when you add some Parmesan cheese and few other ingredients, mix everything and fry for few minutes, you get these delicious fritters that make great side dish or even a lunch with maybe some salad on the side. They are still good the following day so you can even take them to work for lunch and have a bit healthier one than a sandwich or a slice of pizza.
I generally don’t fry food often but when I do (like when making pancakes, fritters, occasionally fried liver and maybe few other things), I am very careful about which oils I use. Until I started thinking more about what I eat and reading, researching about healthy food and healing with food (you can read a bit about that here and I talked a bit about my health/digestion problems and healing with food in quite a few of my posts already but I’m also planning on writing an entire post on this subject soon!), I just used vegetables oil for everything, specially sunflower oil and extra virgin olive oil only for salads or fish. I’ve never thought about oils and how good or bad they can be for us. I’ll write more about this soon but for now let me just suggest that you eliminate or at least reduce the use of vegetables oils from your diets as they are so bad for us and our bodies. I mostly use 4 kinds of oils in my cooking now: 1. coconut oil with mild coconut flavor that I use for cakes and sweet treats, 2. coconut oil without any flavor that I use for frying, 3. olive oil for cooking that I use for roasting vegetables or cooking in general and 4. extra virgin olive oil that I use for salads and drizzling over food in general. To read more about why vegetables oil are so bad for us, go here… and I will be working on that blog post about my healing with food as I think many of you might find that interesting and if I can help even one person with sharing my experience, I would be so happy! 🙂
Now back to our recipe and these yummy fritters, hope you’ll make them and like as much as we do!


Zucchini & corn fritters
 
Save Print
Author: Lili Basic Capaccetti
Recipe type: Vegetarian
Serves: 12 fritters
Ingredients
  • 2 zucchini, grated
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup corn
  • 200 ml natural yogurt (I use homemade kefir)
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • 5 tbsp oats
  • 4 tbsp spelt flour (or other flour, you may have to adjust this quantity 1 tbsp more or less to get the right consistency of batter)
  • salt, thyme (you can also add some pepper if you use it, I don't)
  • oil for frying
Preparation
  1. Start by grating zucchini in a large mixing bowl and removing the excess water by using a kitchen towel.
  2. Add all other ingredients and stir well until all combined.
  3. Heat neutral coconut oil or other oil you use in a frying pan and once it's heated, put about 2 tbsp of batter per each fritter. Fry them 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  4. Place them on a kitchen towel to remove the excess oil and serve warm.
  5. Note: You can also store them in the fridge over night and they will still be good the following day and eaten at room temperature.

    Oh Lili… You took me back to my childhood.
    My mother used to make these growing up. But hers was with feta cheese and all-purpose flour.
    Though I can only imagine how it must taste with parmesan and corn added.
    Lovely photos as usual. Cheers!

Hi! I’m Lili and I’m so happy
to welcome you on my blog!

First things first. Why Travelling oven you’re wondering? Well, when this blog was created I had been living as an expat for about 8 years in beautiful countries like Scotland, Kazakhstan, Switzerland, Turkey...READ MORE...

The last few days since I came back to Zagreb I mo The last few days since I came back to Zagreb I mostly spent doing admin stuff and buying groceries (my fridge was totally empty!) and for breaks I did yoga and re-edited some older photos. So here’s one of them from beautiful winter @plitvicelakesnp, hope you like it...🦆❄️

After three weeks in Dubrovnik, the time has come After three weeks in Dubrovnik, the time has come for me to return to Zagreb. Besides the pandemic reality, in these weeks we had horrible earthquake in Croatia that took lives, destroyed homes and left the whole country in the state of shock. On a personal level we had to face death in the family due to Covid and if somebody tells me ever again that 'they would have died anyway because they were old" I will really lose it!! My little niece and nephew lost their grandmother and we all lost a person we loved. So, it was and still is a difficult time but life taught me many times before that we are stronger than we think and that the most important thing is to find peace within yourself. I still wake up every morning grateful for life, for my people, for photography, for all the little things that make life beautiful. And I dream about all the good things that will come our way... 
Sending you my love and positive thoughts and sharing these not so typical Dubrovnik photos.❤️

I know it's not the most colourful and bright phot I know it's not the most colourful and bright photo for this occasion but it represents what this year has been like for me personally. Difficult, lonely, at times very dark but at the same time with its sweet moments that I get to keep forever in my heart, beauty found in 'ordinary' and sparkles of light that give hope and comfort. I wish that 2021 will bring more freedom, health and happiness for all of us! Thank you for being here with me... ❤️

My favourite moments in these last two days since My favourite moments in these last two days since I came to Dubrovnik are baking ‘orahnjaca’ (Croatian) or ‘potica’ (Slovenian), traditional walnut cake with my mum, harvesting mandarins in our garden with my dad, soaking up the sun that I missed so much after about a month of dark and gloomy days, reading a book on the terrace and stopping every few moments to just look at the sea... All the little things that bring me much needed calm and joy. Hope you are all well and finding your little moments too...☺️❤️

I miss mountains, snow and travelling so here are I miss mountains, snow and travelling so here are few details from the Swiss Alps, a place I called home few years ago... It’s so strange, I am from Dubrovnik, born by the sea and of course I love it but I would choose mountains and forests anytime! It's where my soul is at peace and happiest.☺️❄️How about you?

Drinking hot chocolate and eating gingerbread cook Drinking hot chocolate and eating gingerbread cookies like I don't have a worry on my mind! Yeah right...😅

Comfort food is just the best! I have few that ins Comfort food is just the best! I have few that instantly make me feel better like semolina porridge or spaghetti with fresh tomatoes and basil... Crepes with apricot jam are high up on that list too! 😉 I'm curious, what is your favourite comfort food?

Story behind this image: because of all the festive photos on social media these days, I felt pressured to create some in Christmas mood too. But nothing was going as I imagined and I simply was not feeling it. So I decided to put all that away and create something that reflects more of me and what and how I feel at the moment. So this is one of the images from that series. In the end what matters the most is that we create from our heart.✨
