Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1 1/4 c Peeled, chopped plum tomato
-(See Note)
1/2 c Finely chopped scallions
1 Garlic clove; finely chopped
1 tb Freshly chopped parsley
1/2 ts Oregano
1/4 ts Cinnamon
1 ts Fresh mint (heaping measure)
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 c All-purpose flour
1 ts Double-acting baking powder
Olive oil; for frying

In a large bowl, combine tomatoes, scallions, garlic, herbs, and
spices. Add flour and baking powder and mix together so that all
ingredients are well blended and have the consistency of a thick
batter (about as thick as pancake batter).

In a large heavy skillet, heat enough olive oil for frying. Taking a
heaping tablespoon at a time, drop batter into hot oil and fry until
golden brown and crisp.

Remove at once with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve
hot.

Yield: about 3 dozen

NOTE: In other islands, spinach or 'horta' (greens) are often used
instead of tomatoes. Follow instructions above, using 1-1/2 cups
boiled, well-drained, chopped spinach, or any other greens.
