GREEK TOMATO FETA FRITTERS (DOMATOKEFTETHES)
I'm showing you my take on domatokeftethes. These are incredibly delicious, versatile, and inexpensive, and they make a perfect summertime appetizer. Serve with freshly squeezed lemon, tzatziki sauce, or just plain Greek yogurt seasoned with raw minced garlic and lemon juice to taste.

Steps:
- 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.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use high-quality chicken breasts or thighs. Organic or free-range chicken is always a good choice.
- Be sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help the chicken to absorb the flavors of the marinade and make it more tender.
- If you don't have time to marinate the chicken, you can still make these kebabs. Just be sure to cook them over medium heat so that they don't dry out.
- Feel free to customize the vegetables on the skewers. Some other good options include bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and zucchini.
- Serve the chicken kebabs with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tzatziki sauce, hummus, or baba ganoush.
Conclusion:
Greek chicken kebabs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or party. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, then grilled to perfection. The kebabs are served with a refreshing mint-feta dip that adds a creamy and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
