ingredients
1 1/4 cup peeled, chopped plum tomatoes
OR
1 1/2 cup cooked, well drained, chopped spinach, or any other greens
1/2 cup finely chopped scallions
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon fresh mint (heaping measure)
salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon double-acting baking powder
olive oil, for frying
directions
In a large bowl, combine tomatoes, scallions, garlic, herbs, and spices. Add flour and baking powder and mix together so that all ingredients are well blended and have the consistency of a thick batter (about as thick as pancake batter).
In a large heavy skillet, heat enough olive oil for frying. Taking a heaping tablespoon at a time, drop batter into hot oil and fry until golden brown and crisp.
Remove at once with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot.
