Ingredients:

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

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- Gather all your ingredients and measure them accurately.
- Wash and deseed the tomatoes, then dice them into small pieces.
- If the olives are not pitted, remove the pits and then chop them finely.
- Crumble the feta cheese into a bowl.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose white wheat flour with the baking powder. Whisk well to ensure they are evenly distributed.
3. Add Wet Ingredients:
- Add the egg into the bowl with the flour mixture. Mix it in gently.
- Fold in the diced tomatoes, chopped olives, and crumbled feta cheese.
- Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, keeping in mind that feta cheese and olives already add some saltiness.
4. Combine Everything:
- Stir all the ingredients together until you have a thick, consistent batter. Make sure all the elements are well combined but do not overmix.
5. Heat the Oil:
- In a large skillet, pour a thin layer of olive oil (about 2-3 tablespoons) and heat it over medium heat until it shimmers but is not smoking.
6. Cook the Fritters:
- Using a spoon or a small ladle, scoop out small portions of batter (about 2 tablespoons each) and gently drop them into the hot oil.
- Flatten the dollops slightly with the back of your spoon.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fritters are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
7. Drain and Cool:
- Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
8. Serve:
- Serve the Mediterranean fritters warm, garnished with extra crumbled feta cheese and a sprinkling of fresh herbs if desired. They pair well with a side salad or a dollop of tzatziki.

Tips:

- Use high-quality, fresh ingredients.: Fresh tomatoes, quality feta cheese, and good olives will greatly enhance the flavor of your fritters.

- Dry the ingredients properly.: Pat dry the tomatoes before adding them to the batter to prevent excess moisture, which can make your fritters soggy.

- Don't overmix the batter.: Mix the ingredients until just combined to ensure tender and fluffy fritters.

- Heat the oil properly.: Make sure the frying oil is hot enough before adding the batter. This will help create a crispy exterior.

- Serve immediately.: For the best texture and flavor, serve the fritters as soon as they are cooked.

These Mediterranean fritters are a wonderful way to bring the taste of the Mediterranean to your kitchen. Easy to prepare and bursting with flavor, they are sure to become a favorite at your table. Follow our tips for the best results and enjoy these delightful bites with family and friends.
