Ingredients
Scale
For the Fritters:
- 2 medium onions finely sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano or thyme
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional)
- vegetable oil for frying
For the Dipping Sauce:
- ¼ cup sweet chilli sauce
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional)
Instructions
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until soft and lightly caramelized. Add garlic and sauté for another minute. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine cooled onion mixture, crumbled feta, eggs, flour, baking powder, black pepper, salt, oregano, and parsley. Mix until a thick batter forms.
- Heat about ¼ inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Drop heaping tablespoons of the mixture into the pan, flattening slightly with the back of a spoon. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- To make the dipping sauce, whisk together sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and ginger in a small bowl.
- Serve fritters warm with dipping sauce on the side.
Notes
- You can use red onions for a sweeter flavor.
- Add a pinch of chili flakes to the fritter batter if you like heat.
- The sauce can be doubled or made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to a week.
