Corn and Cilantro Fritters
Compliments of A La Heart Catering in Santa Rosa, California, this dish is a little richer than our usual recipes, but it's wonderful nevertheless. Top the fritters with fresh salsa or chipotle aioli. For dinner, serve these fritters on a bed of spinach leaves with a piece of grilled fish.
Ingredients
2 1/2 pounds corn, fresh or frozen
2 teaspoons chili powder, or to taste
1 teaspoon ground cumin, or to taste
3 1/2 teaspoons sea salt, or to taste, divided

Directions
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sauté corn with the chili powder, cumin, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and sugar in the butter and then let cool. You can sauté the red bell pepper with the corn now or add it uncooked at the end of the recipe with the cilantro.
In a medium bowl, mix flour, matzo meal, the remaining 2 1/2 teaspoons of the salt, baking powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
In a small bowl mix the eggs and the milk. Stir into dry ingredients. Add corn, cilantro, and bell pepper (if you haven't done so already) and mix. Form into small patties. You may store in the refrigerator in single layers until you are ready to sauté them.
Sauté in a small amount of oil.
