Paw-some Peruvian Style Cheesy Sweetcorn Fritters

Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all). Halve the red chilli lengthways, deseed, then finely chop. Zest and halve the lemon.

Crush the peanuts in the unopened sachet using a rolling pin.

Crumble half the Greek style salad cheese into a medium bowl. Add the chilli (add less if you'd prefer things milder), peanuts, half the coriander and half the garlic.

Add the olive oil for the salsa (see pantry for amount) and squeeze in half the lemon juice. Stir together and set aside.

Trim the carrot, then coarsely grate (no need to peel). Drain the sweetcorn in a sieve.

Add the sweetcorn to a blender. Blend the sweetcorn until finely chopped, 1-2 mins. 

In a large bowl, add the plain flour and water for the fritters (see pantry for both amounts). Stir in the blended corn and season with salt and pepper. 

Stir in the carrot and crumble in the remaining cheese. Add the Central American style spice mix and the remaining coriander and remaining garlic. Stir together until well combined. 

Heat a large frying pan to medium-high heat with enough oil to coat the bottom. 

Once hot, place heaped tablespoons of the fritter mixture (in batches) into the pan. Flatten slightly with the back of your spoon, then fry until golden and cooked through, 3-4 mins each side. TIP: Don't flip them too early, they need time to set. 

Once cooked, transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper.

Keep cooking in batches until all the mixture is used up - you should get 3-4 fritters per person. TIP: Add extra oil in between batches if needed.

Meanwhile, trim the baby gem, separate the leaves, then tear into bite-sized pieces. Cut the tomato into 1cm chunks.

In a medium bowl, combine the sugar and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts) with the remaining lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.

When everything's nearly ready, add the lettuce and tomato to the dressing bowl. Toss to evenly coat.
