Domatokeftedes ( tomato fritters ) are a famous (and delicious) version of the “poor man’s fritters”. They were called as such because meat was really expensive and they replaced it with other ingredients like vegetables, legume, spices which were easier to obtain. Gradually , this need evolved and turned into an interesting culinary tradition that left its mark on some islands and made their fritters famous throughout the world. One of those islands was Santorini . Its famous tomato fritters – made out of Santorini tomatoes – have a special aroma and a unique flavor, which makes them irresistible.
