Tomatokeftedes
Greek dish
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tomatokeftedes are fried tomato balls served as an appetizer on the Greek island of Santorini,[1] and generally Cyclades. The dish is made from crushed or pureed tomatoes fried in oil. The batter is tomatoes and flour kneaded into a dough along with spices, parsley, onion, and mint; the dough is then fried in cooking oil and served as an appetizer.[1][2][3] Santorini-grown tomatoes are preferred, as the island's rugged terrain and pumice-laced soil makes for more robust fruits.[1]
