Instructions
- Cut tomatoes into quarters and remove the white middle part and seeds. Finely chop tomatoes and place them in a sieve. Add some salt, mix well and let sit for 15 minutes to drain excess water then drain.
- In a bowl, combine drained tomatoes, finely chopped onion, crumbled feta cheese, egg ( is using) and fresh herbs. Season with black pepper.
- Gradually add flour mixed with baking powder (if using plain flour) to the tomato mixture. Combine well.
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan. Scoop the mixture into little patties and fry for a couple of minutes on each side until light golden brown. Transfer to a plate lined with a kitchen towel to soak up excess oil.
