Instructions
- Grate the tomatoes, and place them in a strainer over a bowl—season with a pinch of salt. Repeat the process for the zucchini.
- In a bowl, mix the flour and baking powder. Add the tomatoes, zucchini, corn kernels, and the diced onion, crumbled feta, and chopped fresh herbs.Add the chili flakes. Mix everything gently. Don't over mix; it is better to have your mixture a little chunky. The different flavors will shine.
- Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet.
- Take a full tablespoon of the mix and add it to your frying pan. Using your spoon, shape it a little bit, make it a little tidier. Pat lightly on the top to flatten slightly. Add the same way 2-3 more patties in the pan and fry for 3-5 minutes, until both sides are golden and lightly crispy.
- Transfer to a dish lined with paper towels. Repeat the same process until all of the fritters are ready.
- Mix all the sauce ingredients in a bowl and serve with tomato fritters for immediate consumption!
Notes
- If the mixture feels too loose, add a little more flour. You can also refrigerate for 30 minutes before frying. The low temperature helps with the texture and the fritters will be scooped and shaped much easier without falling apart.

- Marinate in the fridge ½ feta block in 1 cup ouzo drink for 2 hours.
- Instead of adding the feta to the fritter mix, gently cut it into ½ inch cubes.
- Lightly flour the feta cubes and fry in the same pan you fried the fritters for 2-3 minutes until golden.
- Transfer feta to paper towels to absorb the extra oil and serve along with the tomato fritters
