Tomato Fritters : Method
- Drain the peeled tomatoes, place them on a cutting board, carefully open them, and pat dry with paper towels.
- Whisk 2 eggs with a tablespoon of milk and pepper (no salt). Prepare two more plates, one with flour and the other with breadcrumbs.
- Dredge the pelati in flour, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Press firmly with your hands to ensure the breading adheres well.
- Preheat the peanut oil to 340°F and fry the tomato fritters for a few minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Serve with a pinch of salt or, even better, Maldon sea salt flakes.
