First, make the salsa by
mixing together all the ingredients. Season and put in the
fridge while you make the sweet corn cakes. .
-
For the cakes, put the cottage
cheese and eggs in a large mixing bowl, whisk together
until smooth, then stir in the sweet corn, and parsley. Fold
the flour, spices and bicarbonate into the batter and
season.
-
Heat 1 tsp sunflower oil in a
non-stick frying pan. When the oil is hot, spoon 3 tbsp of
the batter mixture into the pan for each cake – you should
be able to cook 3 cakes at a time. Fry for 3-4 mins until
golden brown on the underside, then flip over and cook for
another 3-4 mins or until golden and cooked through.
Repeat until all the batter is used up, putting the cooked
cakes in a low oven to keep warm while you fry each batch.
-
Bring a large pan of water to
the boil, then turn down until barely boiling. Crack one
egg at a time into a small bowl, then gently slide into
the water. Cook the eggs for about 4 mins until the whites
are firm but the yolks are still runny, then remove from
the water with a slotted spoon.
-
To serve, divide the cakes
between 4 plates, then top each stack with some slices of
avocado and a poached egg. Season the eggs with black
pepper, then scatter over the salad leaves. Serve with the
salsa and lime wedges on the side.
