Preparation

To make the softrito, finely chop the garlic, onion and capsicum and fry off in a little vegetable oil.
Place the creamed sweet corn in a bowl and add the polenta, plain flour, baking powder, cumin and 2 beaten egg yolks. Then stir in the sofrito.
Heat the oil in a saucepan and drop a spoonful of the mixture into the hot oil to test.
The fritter will puff up and brown if the oil is hot enough. Continue until all the mixture has been used. Several can be cooked at one time but don’t overcrowd the saucepan.
Drain the fritters on paper towelling and serve warm.
