🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 4 medium fresh ripe tomatoes
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg
• 1 medium, finely chopped red onion
• 3 tablespoons, finely chopped fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 cup, crumbled feta cheese (optional)

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Wash and remove the seeds from the tomatoes. Finely chop the tomatoes and place them in a colander to drain excess liquid for about 10 minutes.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, red onion, parsley, oregano, salt, pepper, and crumbled feta cheese (if using). Mix well.

3. Add the egg to the mixture and stir to incorporate.

4. Gradually add the flour to the tomato mixture until the mixture reaches a dough-like consistency. If it’s too wet, add a bit more flour or breadcrumbs to bind it better.

5. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

6. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape it into a small patty with your hands or a spoon. Place it in the hot skillet.

7. Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

8. Drain the cooked patties on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

9. Serve the tomato patties warm, either on their own, with a dollop of yogurt, or with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
