Corn & Poblano Hushpuppies
Instructions
- Lightly sauté chile in a teaspoon of oil until softened. Combine with remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl until well blended but do not over mix. Let stand for 20 minutes. In a fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, heat oil to 350° (if you don’t own a thermometer, place a cube of bread in the oil and if it browns quickly, the oil should be ready). Carefully drop spoonfuls of batter (roughly 1–1½ inches in diameter) into oil, a few at a time so oil stays hot. Gently fry until golden brown, using a slotted spoon to turn, browning evenly. Remove to paper towels to drain. Season with salt to taste and serve with Peppadew aïoli. Serves 6.
