Ingredients

6 large eggs
340g can sweetcorn kernels in water, drained
6 spring onions, finely sliced
1 green pepper, deseeded and diced
1 red pepper, deseeded and diced
300g tomatoes, diced
1 red chilli, deseeded and diced (optional)
1 tbsp tomato purée
Juice of 2 limes
Low-calorie cooking spray
Rocket, to serve

Method

Step 1

Beat the eggs in a large mixing bowl. Stir through the sweetcorn, half the spring onions and the green pepper, then season with pepper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the red pepper, tomatoes, chilli (if using) and remaining spring onions. Combine the tomato purée and lime juice, then stir it into the salsa and season to taste.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to high. Spray a large non-stick frying pan with a couple of pumps of low-calorie cooking spray and put it over a medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook for 5-6 minutes or until the top starts to set. Finish under the grill, until the egg is cooked through.

Step 4

Remove the fritter from the pan, leave to cool, then slice it into 8 wedges and serve with the rocket. Or you can pack the wedges and the salsa into airtight containers and chill for up to 2 days. For a take-to-work lunch, put a handful of rocket in a lunch box, top with 2 fritter wedges and a dollop of salsa, then seal and chill until ready to eat.
