  • 1/4 cup plain flour

  • A little milk
  • 2 large firm tomatoes
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed

  • 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for shallow frying

  • 8 cupped leaves iceberg lettuce, to serve shredded fresh basil leaves, to garnish

How to make sweetcorn cakes with grilled tomatoes

  • Pull the husks and silk away from the corn, then hold the cob upright on a board and cut downwards with a heavy knife to strip off the kernels.
  • Put the kernels in a pan of boiling water and cook for 3 minutes after the water has returned to the boil, then drain and rinse under the cold tap to cool quickly.
  • Put the flour into a bowl and break the egg into a well in the middle.
  • Start stirring with a fork, adding a little milk to make a soft dropping consistency.
  • Stir in the drained corn and season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat the grill.
  • Halve the tomatoes horizontally and make two or three crisscross slashes across the cut side of each half.
  • Rub in the crushed garlic and the oregano and season with salt and pepper.
  • Trickle with oil and grill until lightly browned.
  • While the tomatoes grill, heat some oil in a wide frying pan and drop a tablespoon of batter into the centre.
  • Cook, one at a time, over a low heat and turn as soon as the top is set.
  • Drain on kitchen paper and keep warm while cooking the remaining fritters.
  • The mixture should make at least 8 sweetcorn cakes.
  • For each serving, put 2 sweetcorn cakes on to lettuce leaves, garnish with basil and serve with a grilled tomato half.
  • The dressing for this salad uses raw egg yolks. Be sure to use only the freshest eggs from a reputable supplier. Pregnant women, young children and the elderly are not advised to eat raw egg yolks. If this presents a problem, the dressing can be made without the egg yolks.
