Method

  1. Heat ½ tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook for about 5-7 mins, turning once, until crisp on both sides. Remove from the pan using a slotted spoon.
  2. Meanwhile, combine the flour, sweetcorn, 3 spring onions, egg, 50g creme fraiche and some seasoning in a mixing bowl.
  3. Heat the remaining olive oil in same frying pan on a medium heat. Add spoonfuls of the sweetcorn mixture to the pan, then smooth them out into a circle with the back of a spoon. Each fritter should be about 5-6cm in diameter and 1cm high. Cook in batches for about 4-5 mins per side until golden and cooked through.
  4. To serve, stack 3 fritters on a plate and dollop with the remaining creme fraiche. Top with tomatoes and spring onions, then drizzle with sweet chilli sauce. Serve the remaining chilli sauce on the side for dipping.
