Method
- Chop the tomatoes and add to a mixing bowl with the red onion, garlic, lemon zest, chopped herbs and salad cheese; season. Stir in the flour and baking powder to form a dough. Cover, then chill for 30 mins.
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan over a low-medium heat. Divide the tomato mixture into 6 and shape into roughly 9cm patties. Working in batches, fry for 2-3 mins each side until golden and cooked through; drain on kitchen paper. Repeat with the remaining 1 tbsp oil and the remaining dough to make 6 fritters, then serve hot with new potatoes and tzatziki for dipping, if you like.
