Santorini Tomato Fritters: Domatokeftedes

Print this recipe here:www.dimitrasdi...
Ingredients
1 and ½ pounds tomatoes, diced
1 small onion, finely chopped
5 scallions (green and white parts), finely sliced
½ cup finely chopped fresh herbs
¼ cup parsley
¼ cup basil or dill
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint
2 teaspoons dried crushed oregano
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 and 1/2 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
Optional: ½ pound feta cheese, crumbled
Vegetable oil, for frying
​tzatziki sauce for dipping
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, feta,onions, scallions, and herbs. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine the flour, 1 teaspoon of salt or to taste, and the baking powder and whisk to combine.
Add the flour to the tomato mixture and mix well with a spatula until everything is combined.
Taste and add more salt and pepper if desired.
This mixture can sit in the refrigerator for a few hours so that all of the flavors marry. It can also be made immediately. I prefer to allow it to sit at least 1 hour for best flavor.
Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium high heat.
Carefully drop 1 tablespoon of batter at a time in the oil and fry at least 3 minutes before flipping to prevent the fritter from falling apart.
Cook until golden brown all around. 6-7 minutes.
Set the fritters on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
Serve immediately with tzatziki sauce for dipping.
Enjoy!
Notes
The amount of liquid that is released depends on the variety of tomatoes. Small tomatoes such as grape or cherry tomatoes do not release that much liquid. Larger tomatoes release a good amount of liquid.
If the batter seems dry, add some water so that it reaches the consistency shown in the video.

Just in time! I have so many ripe tomatoes and I didn't feel like making tomato sauce because I have no room in my freezer. Thank you so much. Dinner tonight!

@@DimitrasDishes Thanks for reading and responding to comments! You actually clued me in on the fritters through a comment a few week ago, which was very nice! I am your loyal fan for life! 😃

[@andyboyize]

Very nice ... bravo Dimitra!!!

[@tanvav]

TY sweet Dimitroula mou! I'll be making these soon. I had use up my tomatoes given to me from the pantry in my "hood" to make the marinara sauce because they would've gone bad.. I'm sorry about it. Stay safe!

[@PetraKann]

We call them cherry tomatoes in Australia (although they more spherical in shape) Greek islands have something special that transcends time

[@Raul28153]

MADE 'EM tonight. My lovely missus and I loved 'em~!!! We had her garden plum tomatoes, so I cored & seeded 'em. My only deviation was the addition of Smoked Paprika.

[@gaetanasignore7526]

Adoro la cucina greca per tutte le volte che sono venuta nella tua terra. E ne faccio tantissime di ricette ma questa mi mancava. Devono essere buonissime. Brava e ti prometto che le farò al più presto. Un abbraccio italiano🇮🇹💋💋

[@dianeschuller]

this looks like a perfect way to use up my excess of herbs and I'm also going to add some zucchini -- thanks for sharing this great recipe.

[@DimitrasDishes]

You are so welcome!

[@bluewhale59]

Looks delicious and tasty, I have to try it this weekend.

[@lupechacon-florez7520]

Amazing. I have barrel feta right now I will be making these. Special Request: one pan stuffed mushrooms. In other words the stuffing and the mushrooms are mixed together. if anybody can make this you can Dimitra.

[@sherreepeterson3496]

I had a dip made from potatoes, garlic and almonds and it was delicious. I would love to see a video on that.

[@sphenopalatineganglioneuralgia]

Just tried this for the first time! Used a different recipe from a vegetarian site, but I wish I would have watched this first. They made some changes that I think were unnecessary and probably didn't add much, also the tips about cooking with oil might have helped. Looking forward to trying it again and getting it right--but even so they were tasty!

[@pottersjournal]

WOW, this is one I hadn't thought of. Was about to ask if you would do the sausage peppers dish, spetzofai, that shows up seldom in recipe books and restaurants. I should have known immediately, I see you've done that too. Thanks for that and this always so nicely presented.

[@DimitrasDishes]

Hope you enjoy!

What a flavour packed dish. Tzatziki is a great choice for dipping. You look extra beautiful with your golden tan.

[@DimitrasDishes]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@nisreenfarouq3063]

Looks so delicious Try to add few eggs instead of water We do that with our Arabic version

[@mariakoufalis1487]

That is an option but it would change the taste and texture of the original flavour.

[@charmintruesdale4484]

😋😋😋 Yeah baby. Is there not a dipping sauce?

[@pameladecicco6509]

We call these pseudokeftades. Yum yum with tzadzikia...mmmmm💚 Never added feta, but yum. oooh.. Dimitra...cast iron. Now who is the dummy? Me...saiagapo toso pouli....lol

[@phillipsmom6252]

[@Lovelytraveling]

Looks really delicious but can you add eggs instead of flour?

[@marche49]

Great recipe,again I would use glutenfree flour.Great job cutting up the tomatoes 🍅 thanks for sharing.🥰

[@DimitrasDishes]

Thank you so much 😊

[@micuchua70]

🤤

[@bagbiz]

Do you think that you could use half AP flour and half finely ground almond flour to lower the carbs?

[@DimitrasDishes]

Yes you can!

[@siramea]

why not use the white part of the scallions, if you need onions anyway?

[@mariakoufalis1487]

But she did use the white parts.

[@siramea]

@@mariakoufalis1487 ​oh ya, woops, I was not looking closely enough, but listening and did think it odd.

[@mariakoufalis1487]

@@siramea No worries my dear, I was busy reading the comments and had to go back to verify..lol..

[@aaz148a]

They look too soft and falling apart a bit, maybe you added a bit too much water. For the rest, all ingredients and procedures are spot on!
