Description
These Onion and Feta Fritters with Sweet Chilli Soy Dipping Sauce are a delightful choice for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 1/4 cup sweet chilli sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
Instructions
- Begin by heating olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook them slowly, stirring often, until they become soft and take on a sumptuous golden-brown hue. This process should take about 10 minutes. Once done, set the caramelized onions aside and allow them to cool slightly as you prepare the remaining ingredients.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the cooled onions with crumbled feta cheese, freshness-inducing parsley, and the eggs. Stir the mixture until well-blended. In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground black pepper, and salt. Gradually add the dry mix to the onion and feta blend, stirring until a thick batter, akin to a pancake mixture, forms.
- Pour vegetable oil into a large skillet and heat it over medium-high. Once the oil is shimmering and hot, drop spoonfuls of the prepared batter into the skillet, gently flattening each spoonful into a round fritter shape. Fry the fritters until they are beautifully golden and crispy on each side, taking about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate, allowing them to drain any excess oil.
- While the fritters are cooling slightly, whisk together sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce, and rice vinegar in a small bowl to create your dipping sauce. This combination offers a refreshing yet tangy contrast to the savory fritters.
- Place the warm fritters on a serving platter and present them with the sweet chilli soy dipping sauce on the side. They are best savored warm, letting the flavors meld wonderfully with each bite.
Notes
The fritters can be frozen after cooking. To reheat, bake in an oven at 180°C until crispy.
