question:A childhood staple – veganised. If using tinned sweetcorn, squeeze all of the water out of the corn before using – I usually open the tin, pour it into a colander and leave while I prep the other ingredients, then squeeze any leftover water out with my hands. This will make a HUGE difference to the taste and texture of your fritters. Place a cast-iron or non-stick frying pan (skillet) on a medium–high heat. Whisk together the flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt, freshly ground black pepper and rice or soya milk. Mix in the chopped red onion, coriander and diced pepper to the the batter. Add the corn and mix together until fully combined. It will seem like you don’t have enough batter. This is good. You want just enough to glue the other ingredients together, no more. Pour enough oil into the pan to lightly coat the bottom. Spoon tablespoons of the batter into a frying pan. I usually do three at a time so that there is room to flip them. Flatten them ever so slightly with the back of the tablespoon so that they don’t break when you flip them and they can cook through evenly. When bubbles appear, flip and allow to cook for an additional 2–3 minutes or until golden brown. Repeat until all of the batter is used up. My favourite way to eat these is piled into a sandwich (as pictured), with my Classic Hummus, Caramelised Onions, fresh coriander, guacamole and whatever other goodies I have in my fridge. Use buckwheat, rice or besan (chickpea flour) in place of wholemeal flour. If you are missing the tang that feta usually lends to such fritters, try adding a few chopped sun-dried tomatoes or pitted, chopped green olives. What is the suggested way to serve these fritters?
answer:The author suggests piling them into a sandwich with classic hummus, caramelized onions, fresh coriander, guacamole, and other desired toppings. However, they can also be served as a side dish or appetizer.
question:Can the recipe be easily doubled or halved?
answer:Yes, this recipe can be easily doubled or halved, depending on the desired amount. Just adjust the ingredient measurements accordingly.
question:Write a satire piece about a political issue.
answer:In a shocking turn of events, political officials have announced a groundbreaking solution to end the age-old debate on climate change - buying air fresheners for the entire planet. "Yes, you heard that right, folks. We believe that purchasing a few million air fresheners will be the ultimate solution to all our environmental woes," said the spokesperson for the government, trying very hard to contain his excitement. According to the government, the air fresheners will help mitigate the effects of pollution and greenhouse gases by releasing calming and fresh fragrances into the air. Officials claim that it is a cost-effective solution that will save millions of dollars in the long run as it can eliminate the need for expensive cleanup efforts. The announcement has been met with widespread criticism from environmentalists worldwide, with some calling the move downright absurd. "The idea that air fresheners will resolve our environmental problems is simply ridiculous. We need real policies and actions to address climate change," remarked a prominent environmental activist. However, some experts support the idea, arguing that it could be a temporary band-aid solution that will buy time and reduce tensions between different political factions. "Given the current political climate, any effort to reduce tensions is welcome, even if it includes buying air fresheners," said one of the experts, political scientist Dr. John Dust. Despite opposition from environmentalists, some government officials see this as a step forward, and they remain steadfast in their resolve. "We are committed to the environment, and we believe that air fresheners could be the key to reversing climate change. Besides, who doesn't love the smell of vanilla and lavender?" commented a spokesperson for the government. In conclusion, it seems that officials have come up with a revolutionary solution to climate change, and only time will tell if it will work. In the meantime, let us all sit back, relax and breathe in the calming aroma of air fresheners.
question:Hey, that satire piece was hilarious! Can you add more examples of ridiculous solutions to climate change proposed by politicians?
answer:Sure thing! Here are a few more ridiculous solutions politicians might propose to combat climate change: 1. Require all citizens to wear sun hats to reduce solar radiation and prevent global warming. 2. Encourage everyone to eat only very light foods to reduce the amount of gas produced by the digestive system. 3. Build enormous fans that blow air from Antarctica to the Arctic to reduce global warming. 4. Plant large trees around every city to absorb carbon dioxide - with no regard for the logistical challenges this would pose for urban areas. 5. Paint all road surfaces white to reflect sunlight and reduce heat absorption. 6. Covince the citizens that climate change is a hoax and ignore all warnings and scientific evidence. Of course, none of these solutions would do anything to effectively combat climate change. But politicians often make grand promises and proposals to show they are taking action - even if their ideas are impractical and not based in reality.
