Infused with the deep, rich flavors of Jimmy Red Cornmeal, a heritage variety with roots in the American South, these fritters are a nod to tradition while embracing a modern, gourmet flair. The addition of Purple Stripe Garlic Powder and Bourbon Barrel Smoked Paprika elevates the dish, providing layers of smoky, garlicky goodness. Perfect for breakfast, a snack, or as a side dish, these fritters are a delightful blend of history and innovation. Don't forget a final sprinkle of Pacific Flake Sea Salt!
What is Jimmy Red Corn?
Jimmy Red Corn is a rare and cherished heirloom variety known for its deep red kernels and complex flavour profile. Once nearly extinct, this corn has made a resurgence thanks to dedicated farmers who recognised its culinary potential. When ground into cornmeal, Jimmy Red Corn imparts a slightly sweet, nutty flavour with a hint of earthiness that makes it ideal for a variety of dishes, from cornbread to fritters. Its unique taste is further enhanced by the stone-milling process, which preserves the natural oils and nutrients of the corn, resulting in a more robust and textured cornmeal.
