Tomato Fritters

Our fritters are as much fun to make as they are to eat. Serve for lunch or as a side dish for dinner.

Ingredients

1 1/3 cups fresh plum tomatoes, diced, seeded and peeled

2/3 cup zucchini, finely chopped

1/2 cup onion, finely chopped

2 Tablespoons fresh mint, chopped

1 Tablespoon, plus 1 teaspoon GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY

1/2 cup flour

3/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 cup breadcrumbs

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/4 cup olive oil (may need more)

Honey Tips

Honey Is Sweeter Than Sugar

Due to the high level of fructose, honey is 25% sweeter than table sugar.

Directions

Combine first five ingredients in a small bowl. In another bowl combine flour, baking powder, bread crumbs, salt and pepper. Stir vegetable mixture into dry mixture.
Heat 1/4 cup of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. In batches, drop batter into oil in rounded tablespoonfuls adding additional oil if needed. Cook until brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Serve immediately.
