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:
- Choose the right peppers: For the best flavor, use ripe, red bell peppers. They should be firm and have a deep red color.
- Roast the peppers properly: Roasting the peppers brings out their sweetness and flavor. Make sure to roast them until the skin is blistered and charred.
- Use a good quality feta cheese: Feta cheese is the key ingredient in this dip, so make sure to use a good quality cheese. Look for feta cheese that is made from sheep's milk or a blend of sheep's and goat's milk.
- Don't over-process the dip: The dip should be chunky, not smooth. Pulse the ingredients in a food processor or blender just until they are combined.
- Serve the dip with pita bread, crackers, or vegetables: This dip is perfect for dipping pita bread, crackers, or vegetables. It's also great as a spread on sandwiches or wraps.
Conclusion:
This Greek low-fat red pepper feta dip is a delicious and healthy appetizer or snack. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Serve it with pita bread, crackers, or vegetables for a satisfying and nutritious meal.
