Lime Corn Cakes with Avocado Chunks

These are a healthy spin on the traditional, heavy corn cakes available at most Mexican restaurants. The dish is delightful served together with the salsa. The avocado and lime flavor complements the corn perfectly. Delicious and light :)

200 g fresh or frozen sweet organic corn

1 egg, beaten

50 g self-rising flour

1 bunch of spring onions, finely chopped

olive oil for sautéing

Avocado Chunks

juice from one lime

1 avocado, cut in chunks

handful of fresh parsley or coriander, chopped

2. Heat olive oil in pan on high, turn oven down to medium and drop spoonfuls of batter into pan and form into cakes

Corn cakes can also be served cold (with the salsa) and makes a great picnic option!
