Salami, pea and corn fritters
Salami, pea and corn fritters are savoury golden fritters packed with diced salami, sweetcorn and peas, bound in a yoghurt and egg batter. The Thermomix TM7 chops the salami and spring onions, then blends the batter evenly in one bowl. Ideal as a quick snack, lunchbox filler or family weeknight dinner, ready in minutes with minimal washing up.
About this recipe
Salami, pea and corn fritters with the Thermomix TM7 are the kind of quick weeknight dinner that turns a few freezer staples into something everyone at the table fights over. Searching for easy fritter recipes for your all-in-one kitchen machine ends here: the TM7 chops the salami and spring onions uniformly, then mixes eggs, yoghurt and self-raising flour into a smooth batter without a single lump. Frozen peas and corn kernels go straight from freezer to bowl, so there is no defrosting step and no waste. The dried mixed herbs add a gentle savoury note that balances the salty salami and sweet corn. These fritters work brilliantly as a snack, a lunchbox filler or a light main course with a green salad on the side. Children love them warm, and adults appreciate how little washing up the single mixing bowl leaves behind. Crisp outside, fluffy inside, and on the plate in well under half an hour.
Preparation tips
- Chop the salami and spring onions separately before adding the batter ingredients, so the pieces stay chunky and give every fritter visible bursts of salty salami and mild onion flavour.
- Let the batter rest briefly before frying so the self-raising flour activates; this makes the fritters puff up light and fluffy rather than dense, and helps the frozen peas and corn hold their shape.
- Cook the fritters in a frying pan rather than baking them, turning only once when the edges look set; serve warm with yoghurt dip, or pack them cold into lunchboxes the next day.
Recipe variations
- Vegetarian version: replace the salami with diced smoked cheese or sun-dried tomatoes and add an extra pinch of paprika; the peas, corn and spring onions keep the fritters colourful and satisfying without any meat.
- Cheesy corn variation: stir grated cheddar into the batter with the mixed herbs for a richer flavour, or make mini bite-sized fritters for a children's party or festive buffet spread.
