1. Video tutorial: Preparing avocados

1. In a bowl, combine the flour, egg, corn and half the onions with some seasoning, then mix well. Mix the avocado with the remaining onions, lime juice, coriander and seasoning, then set aside.
2. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a non-stick frying pan. Drop tbsps of the corn mixture into the frying pan, smoothing them down to form cakes. Cook for about 2-3 mins on each side over a medium heat, adding the remaining oil if you need to. Serve hot with the avocado salsa, lime wedges and some warm refried beans.

TIP

Try grilling a couple of rashers of bacon and serving alongside the corn cakes

  These were very tasty. Didn't make the salsa but added chopped coriander to the corn cake mixture. Served with sausages, bacon and tomato. Everyone liked this.

  I made these without the avacado salsa, and added chopped corriander to the cake mix. They were delicious, served with a fresh salad and balsamic vinigar. Such a quick and tasty meal, I will be making this again very soon!

  Maybe it's because I didn't bother with the salsa but I was REALLY disappointed with this recipe. Bland. There's nothing more to say. Won't bother again.

  I make these all the time - they are deeelicious :) I often serve them with tomato salsa and grilled bacon rashers for the non-vegos!
