From Santorini to your table: domatokeftedes

Once upon a time, in a quiet summer night Santorini, I've tried for the first times "domatokeftedes". I was astonished by this simple but rich taste of  this easy to make, poor, traditional Greek recipe.
This is my favourite version and I would like to share with you:

300 gr of  stale bread

150 gr of tomatoes

a tea spoon of flour

half of a red big onion

a tea spoon of cumin

one table spoon of oregano

salt  and pepper to taste

extra-virgin olive oil





Slice the tomatoes and let them drain for about 1 hour. Then wet the stale bread under running water and let it stand.
In the meanwhile chop finely the onion and mix it in a big bowl with tomatoes, the bread, the flour, add cumin, salt, pepper and oregano. Divide the paste in small pieces








Fry it in a frying pot till domatokeftedes turn to brown, dry them and serve hot or cold.
