Cooking Recipe Pseftokeftedes Santorini

Recipe Ingredients

1 1/4 c Peeled, chopped plum tomato

-(See Note)

1/2 c Finely chopped scallions

1 Garlic clove; finely chopped

1 tb Freshly chopped parsley

1/2 ts Oregano

1/4 ts Cinnamon

1 ts Fresh mint (heaping measure)

Salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1 c All-purpose flour

1 ts Double-acting baking powder

Olive oil; for frying

Directions

In a large bowl, combine tomatoes, scallions, garlic, herbs, and
spices. Add flour and baking powder and mix together so that all
ingredients are well blended and have the consistency of a thick
batter (about as thick as pancake batter).

In a large heavy skillet, heat enough olive oil for frying. Taking a
heaping tablespoon at a time, drop batter into hot oil and fry until
golden brown and crisp.

Remove at once with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve
hot.

NOTE: In other islands, spinach or 'horta' (greens) are often used
instead of tomatoes. Follow instructions above, using 1-1/2 cups
boiled, well-drained, chopped spinach, or any other greens.
