Ingredients

  • 20g plain flour
  • 1 pinch smoked paprika or chilli powder
  • 1 medium egg
  • 1 egg white
  • 135g tinned sweetcorn, drained
  • 65g edamame or soya beans

  • salt and pepper
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 40g avocado, peeled, pitted and sliced
  • 40g yoghurt, such as greek, natural, soya
  • 1 small bunch coriander, chopped

Method

Put the flour, smoked paprika, egg and egg white into a food processor then add the sweetcorn, edamame beans and spring onions. Season with salt and pepper then pulse to a rough paste, leaving some pieces of sweetcorn and edamame beans for texture.

Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat then drop large spoonfuls of the mixture into the pan. Fry for 2 minutes on each side until golden then transfer to a serving plate. Serve with the avocado, yoghurt, coriander and a pinch more smoked paprika.

Tips

Edamame beans, also known as soya beans, are a great source of protein; you’ll find them in the freezer aisle of most supermarkets.
