Ingredients

  • 500 g Santorini cherry tomatoes, finely chopped
  • 1 large red onion, finely minced
  • 150 g all -purpose flour
  • 100 g feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon fresh mint, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for shallow frying

Instructions

  • Place chopped tomatoes in a colander and squeeze gently to remove excess liquid while retaining the pulp.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the tomatoes, minced onion, mint, parsley, and oregano.
  • Stir in the crumbled feta cheese and season with salt and pepper.
  • Gradually add the flour and baking powder, mixing until a thick, cohesive batter is formed.
  • Heat approximately 1 centimeter of olive oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Drop tablespoons of the batter into the hot oil, spacing them apart to prevent sticking.
  • Fry for 2 to 3 minutes per side until the fritters are deeply golden and crispy.
  • Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil and serve immediately.
