Ingredients
- 5 roma tomatoes finely chopped
- 1 red onion finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon parsley finely chopped
- 2 tablespoon mint finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
- 175 g flour plain (all purpose)
- rice bran oil for frying **
Instructions
- Combine the tomatoes, onion, herbs, seasoning, olive oil and flour in a large bowl. The mixture will be like a very thick pancake batter. Cover and set aside for 30 minutes.
- Depending on the size of your frying pan heat up enough oil in a pan to shallow fry the fritters. The oil is ready when it reaches 180 deg C on a thermometer.
- Drop-in spoonfuls (using a dessert spoon or soup spoon is okay) of the tomato batter cooking a maximum of 3 fritters at a time. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side and drain on paper towels.
- Sprinkle a little extra salt on top and serve with tzatziki or freshly squeezed lemon.

Notes
- I like to use rice bran oil when deep or shallow frying. It's quite neutral in taste and has a high smoke point.
- The calories do not include the oil used in frying
