Fresh Chile & Corn Fritters

Directions

Roast the anaheim chiles, then peel, seed and dice them.

Process the corn in a food processor until it resembles a purée, about 2 minutes.

Scrape down with a spatula and process for another minute.

In a bowl, mix together the corn puree, the chopeed chiles, salt, and pepper.

Slowly add the flour, small amounts at a time, while stirring.

In a medium saucepan, heat the clarified butter over high heat.

Using a large cook’s spoon or serving spoon, gently drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot butter.

When the edges are brown after about 2 minutes, turn the fritters over and cook another 2 minutes.

Remove the fritters and allow them to drain on paper towels.

In another saucepan over medium high heat, melt the unsalted butter, add the apples and the celery seed, and sauté about 3 minutes, until they begin to soften.

Serve hot with the fritters.
