How to make the fritters:

Cut the tomatoes in half, remove the insides and add them into a food processor or blender together with the red pepper. Blend until smooth.
Place the tomato mix into a non-stick pan along with some olive oil and cook for about 6 minutes until thickened.
Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. (Add the feta lastly.) Keep in mind that you may need more or less flour depending on the consistency. (It should not be too runny, more like a thick cake mix.)
Heat your oil in a non-stick frying pan. Once the oil is hot, take spoonfuls of the fritter mixture and add them to the hot oil. Keep some distance between each fritter.
Cook for about 6 minutes until they have a golden color.
Drain the excess oil by placing the fried fritters on paper towels.

Once you’ve combined your ingredients you have to use them as soon as possible, or else they will become soggy.
