Lušt nagrajuje
We partnered with a local Slovenian tomato producer called Lušt for this recipe. They prepared a fantastic giveaway for their Slovenian fans. That's why the following text is in Slovene.
Lušt je moj najljubši paradižnik. Vsako leto se ga razveselim in s svojo čudovito rdečo barvo, sočnostjo in z mamljivim izgledom kar kliče po ustvarjanju. Tako kot lani, so tudi letos v Luštu pripravili za vse odlično nagradno igro, kjer lahko osvojite LUŠTne nagrade, med drugim tudi brezplačen najem avtomobila Mazda 2 hybrid* za 1 leto.

Storing
It's best to serve Tomato Fritters (Tomatokeftedes) freshly fried, still warm to achieve the best texture and keep that delicious crunchiness. Store any leftovers in a sealed airtight container, in the fridge, for up to 2 days. Reheat in a preheated oven or serve cold.

METHOD
-
fritters batter
Cut the Roma tomatoes (we used our local Grozdasti paradižnik Lušt) into small cubes, and roughly grate the cherry tomatoes (we used our local Slivov paradižnik Lušt). Roughly dice the onion and add to a bowl—season with chopped herbs, salt, and pepper. Stir, then combine the baking powder and flour. Stir. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes (or for up to 2 hours).
-
heat the oil
Pour both oils into a deep pan and place over high heat. Bring the oil to 170 °C / 340 °F.
-
fry
Remove the fritters from the fridge. When the oil is hot, carefully drop in one tablespoon of tomato fritters. Repeat the process until you use the whole mixture. Fry for 5 - 6 minutes or until the fritters are golden brown. Shake the pan gently from time to time while frying.
-
serve
Transfer the tomato fritters onto a plate lined with paper towels. Serve them with your favorite sauce.
