The Cuisine of Santorini
Total time: 15 to 30 minutes
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Chef's Note
Depending on your preference, you could add a little paprika, chili powder, oregano or parsley.
Ingredients
For 4 servings
- 500 g (18 oz.) Santorinian cherry tomatoes
- 2 finely chopped onions
- 150 g (5 oz.) self-raising flour
- 40 g (1 1/2 oz.) fresh chopped mint
- Salt & black pepper
- 20 ml (4 tsp.) olive oil
Method
- Plunge the tomatoes into boiling water so that you can peel them easily.
- Purée the flesh.
- To the tomato purée, add the flour, onion, mint, salt and pepper. The amount of flour needed will vary, depending on the texture of the tomato purée. You will need a fairly firm batter so that the rissoles hold together when cooked.
- Heat the oil in a skillet. When it is hot but not smoking, fry small quantities of the batter at a time, flattening the rissoles with a spatula; fry on both sides until nicely browned.
