Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Greek Feta Tomato Fritters.
Step 1
Begin by assembling all your ingredients for a delightful cooking experience.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, blend together the diced tomatoes, grated zucchini, sliced green onions, kosher salt, sugar, black pepper, oregano, and cayenne pepper.
Step 3
Allow this vibrant mixture to rest for 15 minutes; this step is crucial as it lets the salt and sugar coax out the natural juices from the vegetables, enhancing the flavor.
Step 4
After the resting period, give the tomato mixture a good stir and fold in the chopped parsley, mint, and basil.
Step 5
Crumble the feta cheese into the bowl, then sprinkle in the flour and baking powder.
Step 6
Gently mix until just combined; the batter should be loose yet able to hold its shape on a spoon.
Step 7
If it feels too runny, add a bit more flour; if it’s too thick, a splash of water will do the trick to achieve the perfect consistency.
Step 8
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to meld the flavors.
Step 9
While the batter is chilling, heat about an inch of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C), or use a deep fryer for a more even cook.
Step 10
Once the oil is hot, use a heaping tablespoon to drop the batter into the sizzling oil, reducing the heat to medium.
Step 11
Fry the fritters for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until they turn a beautiful golden brown and are cooked through.
Step 12
For an extra crispy finish, flip the fritters once more and fry for an additional 30 seconds.
Step 13
Serve these delicious fritters warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the burst of flavors in every bite.
