How to Prepare Corn and Bell Pepper Fritters [Vegan]

Pan-fry onion in 1 tablespoon of coconut oil until translucent. In a bowl, mix the onion with all remaining fritter ingredients, sifting in the chickpea flour and adding the water at the end to ensure there are no lumps.
For regular sized fritters, use 1/4 cup scoops of the mixture, and for nibble-sized, use heaped tablespoons. Pan-fry in the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat for 3-4 minutes each side, until golden-brown.
For the cashew sour cream, blend all ingredients in a blender or food processor until silky smooth, scraping down the inside of the blender a few times to get a smooth consistency. There should be no lumps of cashews remaining and the mixture should be completely smooth like a regular sour cream.
For nibble-sized fritters, top with dollops of cashew sour cream, relish, halved cherry tomatoes, and extra basil leaves.
To serve as a main, stack 3-4 regular-sized fritters before topping with the cashew sour cream, and then serve with wilted spinach, pan-fried mushrooms, and slow-roasted tomatoes on the side.

Notes

You can replace chili peppers with a pinch of chilli powder, if you don't have any fresh chilis on hand.
