Ingredients
2 tbsp canola or other neutral oil
1 large onion, chopped

Minced cilantro or fresh parsley leaves for garnish


Directions

Add the tomatoes, okra, and chili powder; turn the heat to low, and stir.  Cover and cook, stirring once or twice, until the okra is tender (about 10 minutes).

Uncover and stir in the corn.  If the mixture is very liquidy, raise the heat to medium and cook with the cover off for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.  If the mixture if fairly dry, cover and cook over low heat for 5 minutes.  Garnish and serve.

1/4 cup milk
1 Tbsp. melted butter

Cut corn off the cob. Add corn and scallions to the batter and fold in.

Heat the oil in a large skillet. Place approximately 1/4 cup of batter in the pan and spread out to form a cake. Repeat until pan is full without the fritters touching. Fry until the cake is set and the bottom is browned. Flip cakes over and cook until other side is browned. Remove and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.
