About Revithokeftedes
Eli K. Giannopoulos presents revithokeftedes as a Sifnos chickpea appetizer within his traditional Greek recipe collection. This rendition combines boiled chickpeas with sautéed red onion and garlic, then shapes and fries the mixture.
Cumin, coriander and fresh parsley season the fritters. A separate yogurt sauce brings lemon, olive oil, dill and spearmint, offering a creamy, herbal accompaniment to the chickpeas.
The fritters are lightly floured and fried until coloured on all sides. The source offers either balls or flattened patties; this rendition uses the rounded form, served with its yogurt sauce and optional crusty bread.
