Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes

Serves: 4

Ingredients

1 tbsp sunflower oil
1 bunch salad onions (white and green parts), finely chopped
2 tsp ground cumin
4 tsp ground coriander
400g can black beans in water, drained
300g essential Waitrose frozen Supersweet Sweetcorn
680g jar passata
100g fine polenta
40g plain flour
1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped

Method

1. Heated 1tsp oil in a large saucepan. Add the onion and cook over a medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring until golden. Add the cumin and 3 tsp coriander and stir for a minute. Add the beans, corn and passata. Half-fill the passata bottle with water, swirl and add to the pan. Bring to a simmer, and cook gently for 10-15 minutes.

4. Garnish with chopped avocado, low fat yogurt and a squeeze of lime, if you like. Serve with the fritters.
