Ingredients
- 2 cups diced fresh tomatoes with juices
- 1/2 cup packed grated zucchini
- 1/3 cup sliced green onions
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- 3 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, or more as needed
- 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
1
Collect all necessary components and prepare them for use.
2
Combine tomatoes, zucchini, green onions, kosher salt, sugar, black pepper, oregano, and cayenne in a bowl to merge the ingredients. Allow them to rest for 15 minutes, permitting the sugar and salt to extract moisture from the vegetables.
3
Stir the tomato mixture thoroughly; then, incorporate parsley, mint, and basil. Add crumbled feta cheese to the blend. Mix in flour and baking powder until they are fully incorporated. The batter should have a relatively loose consistency but hold its shape when scooped with a spoon. If the mixture is too loose, add more flour; if it's too dry, gradually introduce water until you achieve the desired texture. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
4
Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat, aiming for 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), or utilize a deep fryer if available.
5
Carefully place heaping tablespoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil; reduce the heat to medium. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side.
6
Flip the fried items once more and cook for an additional 30 seconds, if desired.
7
Serve the warm or room-temperature treats.
