Ingredients

Scale

Fritter Ingredients

  • 2 medium yellow onions, finely chopped
  • 150g (5oz) feta cheese, crumbled
  • ½ cup (60g) all-purpose flour or gluten-free chickpea/rice flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Dipping Sauce Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup sweet chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or lime juice
  • Optional: red pepper flakes, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Onion Mixture: Finely chop the yellow onions and sauté them gently in a splash of vegetable oil over medium heat until caramelized and golden brown, bringing out their natural sweetness.
  2. Combine the Batter: In a large bowl, mix the cooled sautéed onions with crumbled feta, flour (or gluten-free alternative), eggs, chopped parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until you form a thick, cohesive batter ready for frying.
  3. Heat the Oil: Pour vegetable oil into a heavy skillet or frying pan and heat over medium-high heat until hot enough to sizzle batter on contact but not so hot it burns quickly.
  4. Fry the Fritters: Scoop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, flatten slightly to create small patties, and fry each side for 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Drain excess oil on paper towels.
  5. Make the Sweet Chili Soy Dipping Sauce: In a small bowl, combine sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, and rice vinegar or lime juice. Stir well and adjust sweetness or saltiness as desired. Add optional red pepper flakes for extra heat.

Notes

  • After sautéing onions, let them cool and drain excess moisture to avoid soggy fritters.
  • Mix the batter just until combined to keep fritters light and tender.
  • Test oil temperature by dropping a small bit of batter; it should sizzle and float.
  • Use a non-stick pan to achieve evenly golden sides and prevent sticking.
  • Serve fritters immediately after frying for the best crispy texture.
