Santorini Style Tomatokeftedes

with Homemade Tzatziki and Lemon, Green Bean & Baby Leaf Salad

Tomatokeftedes are a typical Greek appetiser - small tomato croquettes originating from the Cyclades. The intense flavour comes from tomatoes grown without water in the natural volcanic soils of the area. These croquettes or fritters are mixed with Greek style salad cheese, onion and parsley before being fried in hot oil for a crispy outside. SOURCE OF PROTEIN - Protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass.

Instructions

Start the Prep
1

Quarter the tomatoes, scoop out the seeds and discard. Chop as finely as possible.

Thinly slice the red onion

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. 

Add the onion to the pan and stir-fry until softened, 4-5 mins. Season with salt and pepper.

Make your Fritters
2

In a medium bowl, combine the cooked onion, tomatoes, egg and flour (see pantry for both amounts). 

Crumble in the Greek style salad cheese, season with salt and pepper and stir until well combined. Set aside for now. 

Mix your Tzatziki
3

Meanwhile, trim the cucumber, then halve lengthways. Thinly slice widthways.

Quarter the lemon into wedges. Trim the baby gem, separate the leaves, then tear into bite-sized pieces.

In another medium bowl, combine the cucumber, Greek style yoghurt and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine and set your tzatziki aside for later.

Get Frying
4

Heat a large frying pan to medium-high heat with enough oil to coat the bottom. 

Once hot, place heaped tablespoons of the fritter mixture (in batches) into the pan. Flatten slightly with the back of your spoon, then fry until golden and cooked through, 3-4 mins each side. TIP: Don't flip them too early, they need time to set. 

Once cooked, transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper.

Keep cooking in batches until all the mixture is used up - you should get 3-4 fritters per person. TIP: Add extra oil in between batches if needed. 

Bring on the Beans
5

In the meantime, trim the green beans. Boil a half-full kettle.

Pour the boiled water into a saucepan with ½ tsp salt and heat on high. Bring back to the boil, then add the green beans and cook until just tender, 4-6 mins.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine a squeeze of lemon juice with the sugar and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper.

Once the beans are tender, drain in a colander, then add the green beans to the dressing.

Finish and Serve
6

Just before you're ready to serve, toss the baby gem through the dressing with the beans.

Share your tomatokeftedes between plates and serve your tzatziki and salad alongside.

Serve any remaining lemon wedges alongside for squeezing over.
