It’s summer and fresh corn is abundant. So is zucchini! Which means it’s a great opportunity to whip up these wonderful Corn and Zucchini Fritters. They are a perfect accompaniment to a Sunday ham dinner or perhaps even a meat loaf dinner or just by themselves. It’s your choice, but something I do know is you and your family will love them. They are quite delicious!
And a tool I highly recommend you have in your stash of kitchen gadgets is the Corn Zipper. It’s great for safely removing fresh kernels from cobs. It’s a must have for any kitchen!
These fritters are best consumed the day of so be sure to have a crowd as the recipe makes 12 or so fritters.
Bon appétit!
