Ingredients

• 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)

Directions

Step 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.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the egg to the mixture and stir to incorporate.

Step 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.

Step 5

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

Step 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.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

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