Ingredients
- 2 cups diced fresh tomatoes with juices
- ½ cup packed grated zucchini
- ⅓ cup sliced green onions
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- ¼ cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- 3 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour, or more as needed
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
-
Gather all ingredients.
-
Stir together tomatoes, zucchini, green onions, kosher salt, sugar, black pepper, oregano, and cayenne in a bowl to combine. Let sit for 15 minutes for the sugar and salt to draw out liquids from the vegetables.
-
Stir the tomato mixture; add parsley, mint, and basil. Crumble in feta cheese. Add flour and baking powder; mix with a spoon until combined. Batter should be relatively loose but will hold its shape on a spoon. If too loose, add more flour; if too dry, add some water until desired consistency is reached. Wrap the bowl in plastic wrap and let chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
-
Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), or use a deep fryer.
-
Place heaping tablespoonfuls of batter in the hot oil; reduce heat to medium. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
-
Flip once more and fry for an additional 30 seconds, if desired.
-
Serve warm or at room temperature.
