Tomato Fritters (Santorini Style)

Print Recipe

Crispy and savory tomato fritters, a traditional dish from Santorini, Greece, made with ripe tomatoes, fresh herbs, and a simple batter, perfect as an appetizer or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe tomatoes, finely chopped
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 spring onions, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. Place the chopped tomatoes in a colander, sprinkle with a little salt, and let them drain for about 30 minutes to remove excess liquid.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the drained tomatoes, red onion, spring onions, mint, and parsley.
  3. Add the flour and baking powder to the tomato mixture and stir until a thick batter forms. Season with salt and black pepper.
  4. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, flatten slightly with the back of a spoon, and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  6. Remove the fritters with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  7. Serve warm as an appetizer or with a dipping sauce of your choice.

Notes

  • Make sure the tomatoes are well-drained to avoid soggy fritters.
  • Use fresh herbs for the most authentic flavor.
  • You can add a pinch of oregano for extra taste.
