Ingredients
3 - 4 1 1/2 cups tomatoes (finely chopped (about medium sized tomatoes))
100 g vegan feta cheese (smashed)
½ cup red onion (grated (about 1 large onion))
2 tbsp parsley (chopped)
1 spring onion (finely chopped)
2 tbsp fresh mint (finely chopped)
2 tbsp dill (chopped)
½ cup flour (about 60g)
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil for frying
Directions
Step 1
Prepare Tomatoes: Start by finely chopping the tomatoes, making sure to discard the flesh.
Step 2
Mix Base: Take a mixing bowl and combine the chopped tomatoes, grated red onion, parsley, spring onion, mint, and dill. Add the smashed vegan feta cheese to this mixture and give it a good stir.
Step 3
Add Flour: Incorporate the flour into your tomato and herb mixture. Stir well until the mixture becomes firm enough to shape into balls.
Step 4
Fry: Pour olive oil into a frying pan and heat it over medium-high heat. Moisten a spoon with water and use it to scoop portions of your mixture into the hot oil. Fry each side for approximately 2-3 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
Step 5
Drain: Once fried, remove the fritters from the pan using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels. This will help to absorb any excess oil.
Step 6
Season and Serve: Finally, season your Tomatokeftedes with salt and pepper according to your taste preference before serving.
Step 7
Serve: Enjoy your Tomatokeftedes hot, perhaps with a side of tzatziki or as an appetizer before a Mediterranean meal.
