Mary's Kouzina Tomatokeftedes (Tomato Fritters)
MAKES: 20
Ingredients:
2 cups chopped ripe tomatoes that have been scraped of the seeds and flesh
½ chopped red or brown onion
¼ cup chopped fresh dill
¼ cup chopped fresh mint
100g crumbled feta cheese
½ cup plain flour
½ cup fine semolina
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp baking powder
Salt (very minimal) and pepper
Extra virgin olive oil for shallow frying or any other frying oil of your choice
Directions:
Combine all ingredients into a bowl and mix well. Initially the mixture will seem dry, continue mixing and the tomatoes will begin to release liquid, and the mixture will hold to form a fritter.
Use a heaped tablespoon amount to create a fritter in your hands and fry over medium/high heat up approximately 2 minutes on each side or until golden and crispy.
Transfer the hot fritters onto a plate with absorbent towels to soak any excess oil.
Serve immediately with Tzatziki and enjoy.
