Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220C / fan 200C / gas mark 7. . Finely dice the onion. Deseed the pepper and dice into 1cm squares. Drain the sweetcorn.
- For the sweetcorn fritters; in a medium bowl, add the sweetcorn, flour, spice blend, half the pepper and half the onion. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Add 60-80ml cold water and mix to form a thick batter.
- Heat a large frying pan with 4 tsp oil on a medium-high heat. Place 1-2 tbsp batter into the pan to form a fritter. Repeat with the remaining batter to make 6 fritters in total. Fry for 2-3 mins on each side, until golden brown (cook in batches if necessary). Transfer the fritters to a lined baking tray and bake for 8-10 mins.
- Meanwhile, make the beans; halve the tomatoes and finely chop or crush the garlic. Reheat the frying pan with 2 tsp oil on a medium heat, then add the garlic, tomatoes, remaining pepper and remaining onion. Cook for 3 mins, then add the passata, tamari, chipotle and 50ml water. Drain the beans and rinse. Add to the pan and simmer for 4-5 mins, until thickened slightly (add a splash of water if too thick).
- Halve the lime. Destone the avocado, peel, then thinly slice. Serve the beans with fritters on top and the avocado alongside. Season the avocado with sea salt and black pepper. Squeeze the juice from the lime over the top.
