  3. Mix in flour and beaten eggs to form a batter.
  4. Heat olive oil in a pan and drop spoonfuls of the batter into the oil to form fritters.

  6. In a separate bowl, mix chopped tomatoes, cilantro, garlic, and lemon juice for the salsa.
  7. Serve the fritters with the salsa and a squeeze of lemon.
