green onions

🥗Healthier: chives

💰Cheaper: yellow onion

🥗Healthier: cilantro

💰Cheaper: spinach

Spinach adds color and nutrition.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, eggs, Parmesan, Pecorino, milk, and baking powder. Mix until smooth and slightly thick.

Fold in the chopped tomatoes and a pinch of freshly ground pepper. The mixture should be thick enough to hold together when scooped.

Pour oil into a skillet and heat over medium heat. The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when the batter is added.

Using a spoon, drop small portions of the batter into the hot oil. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Remove fritters from the oil and drain briefly on paper towels. Sprinkle with a little salt and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
