Method
step 1
Heat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Put the tomatoes in a baking dish, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and season well. Roast for 15–20 minutes, or until they’re on the point of collapsing.
step 2
Mash the butter with the chipotle paste, roll into a sausage shape in clingfilm, then chill.
step 3
To make the fritters, put the flour, baking powder and seasoning in a bowl. Mix the eggs and milk, and gradually whisk into the flour to make a batter. Stir in the sweetcorn, onions and coriander.
step 4
Heat olive oil in a pan, add a tbsp of the mix and fry each side for 2–3 minutes until golden.
step 5
Serve the fritters and tomatoes with spinach leaves and a slice or two of butter to melt on top.
