Instructions:
- 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.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose white wheat flour with the baking powder. Whisk well to ensure they are evenly distributed.
- 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.
- Stir all the ingredients together until you have a thick, consistent batter. Make sure all the elements are well combined but do not overmix.
- 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.
- 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.
- Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- 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.
