Feta, tomato and fresh mint fritters

Feta, tomato, and fresh mint fritters are a delightful combination of creamy feta cheese, juicy tomatoes, and aromatic spearmint. These fritters are perfect as an appetizer, snack, or even as a part of a main course. They offer a wonderful mix of flavors and textures that are sure to please any palate.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
60g
1 tsp baking powder
5g
1 egg
50g
1/2 cup water
120g
2 tomatoes
260g
1/2 cup feta cheese
120g
2 tbsp parsley
30g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Wash the tomatoes thoroughly, then dice them into small pieces. If the tomatoes are very juicy, you might want to remove some of the seeds and excess liquid to avoid making the batter too wet.
- Crumble feta cheese into small pieces using a fork or your hands.
- Finely chop the fresh spearmint leaves.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose white wheat flour and the baking powder. Stir well to ensure these dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Add Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg until the yolk and white are well blended.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of water into the whisked egg.
4. Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures:
- Gradually add the egg and water mixture to the bowl with the flour and baking powder, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. You should end up with a smooth batter.
5. Incorporate Flavorful Ingredients:
- Gently fold the diced tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped spearmint into the batter. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed. Be careful not to over-mix as this can break down the tomatoes and feta too much.
6. Cook the Fritters:
- Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of oil to the pan to prevent sticking.
- Once the pan is hot, spoon about 2 tablespoons of the batter per fritter into the pan, gently flattening each spoonful with the back of the spoon to form a small patty.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fritters are golden brown and cooked through. You may need to adjust the cooking time slightly depending on your stove and the thickness of the fritters.
7. Serve:
- Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve the fritters warm, garnished with extra fresh spearmint if desired.

Tips:

- Draining Tomatoes: Make sure to properly drain any excess water from the tomatoes before adding them to the batter. This will help prevent the fritters from becoming too soggy.

- Consistency of Batter: Adjust the amount of water or flour as needed to get the right batter consistency. It should be thick enough to hold its shape but not too dry.

- Herb Substitution: If you don't have spearmint on hand, you can substitute it with other fresh herbs like basil, parsley, or even dill for a different flavor profile.

- Cooking Temperature: Fry the fritters over medium heat to ensure they cook evenly and become golden brown without burning.

- Serving Suggestions: Serve the fritters with a side of Greek yogurt or a garlic aioli dipping sauce to enhance the flavors.

Enjoy your delicious feta, tomato, and fresh mint fritters hot and fresh. They make for an excellent party appetizer or a savory snack. Don't forget to garnish with extra mint and serve with a side of your favorite dipping sauce!
