Description

These golden, pan-fried tomato fritters are inspired by Greek cuisine — bursting with juicy tomato, fragrant herbs, and a tangy creamy tofu sauce that’s entirely dairy-free. Crunchy outside, tender inside, and perfect for warm-weather brunches or lazy dinners.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cucumber

Grate 1/2 cup cucumber.
Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt and let sit for 15 minutes.
Squeeze out the water and set aside.

Step 2: Make the Herb Tofu Dip

In a blender, add tofu, lemon juice, minced garlic, and olive oil.
Blend until smooth.
Stir in grated cucumber and chopped dill by hand.
Set aside in the fridge.

Step 3: Prepare Fritter Batter

In a bowl, mix diced tomato, red onion, basil, dill, green onion, cucumber, and salt.
Use hands to gently mash and release tomato juices.
Gradually fold in flour, stirring until a thick batter forms.

Step 4: Pan-Fry the Fritters

Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Scoop batter into small rounds (about 3-inch wide) and flatten slightly.
Fry 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.

Step 5: Serve

Arrange fritters neatly on a plate.
Add a small bowl of herb tofu dip on the side.
Drizzle with a little extra olive oil and serve warm.
