Santorini is one of the world’s most popular holiday destinations- with its gorgeous sunset, breathtaking backdrop of the Aegean waters and white washed houses and churches.
What we also love about this beautiful island is the great local food and wine it has to offer.
One of the most loved mezedakia (appetiser) that originated in Santorini, is Domatokeftedes (tomato fritters), which consists of tomatoes, shallots, basil and mint.
Make sure you use tomatoes that aren’t too ripe, as you need the flesh of the tomato to get the right consistency for your fritters.
