Fiesta Corn Cakes

Colorful and tasty, these cakes make a special addition to any Mexican buffet.

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups frozen or fresh corn
  • ¾ cup chopped green bell pepper
  • ¾ cup chopped red bell pepper
  • ½ cup chopped red onion
  • ½ teaspoon minced fresh or
    prepared garlic

Cornmeal batter:

  • 1 cup flour
  • ½ cup cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    (optional)
  • ½ cup Plain Mountain High Yoghurt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  •  
  • Plain Mountain High Yoghurt
  • Salsa

In a large saucepan over medium heat, warm olive oil and sauté corn, bell peppers, and onion for 5 or 6 minutes. Add garlic and cook 2 minutes more, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

In a large glass or ceramic bowl, mix together flour, cornmeal, salt, pepper, baking powder, baking soda and, if desired, cayenne. Stir in yoghurt, eggs, and oil. Mix well. Let sit for 30 minutes.

Fold cooled vegetable mixture into batter. Over medium heat, heat a griddle or frying pan and brush it with some of the tablespoon of olive oil. Drop ¼ cupfuls of batter onto griddle and cook corn cakes for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Repeat with remaining olive oil and batter.

Serve cakes warm or at room temperature. For a char-grilled flavor, place finished corn cakes on a preheated grill over direct medium heat and heat for one minute per side. Serve with a dollop of Plain Mountain High Yoghurt and your favorite salsa.

Makes 6 servings.

  1. These corn cakes were perfect to go with my mexican dinner of chicken mole and beans. Only changes I made were to add a shredded zucchini (after I let it sit with a t. of kosher salt for 10 min. and squeezed out well) and a diced hot pepper from my garden, too. Also, for a yummy twist, add whole cumin that have been pan-fried a bit, crushed and added to the yogurt. Perfect!
