Yield: 36 servings
       
 1 1/4 cup peeled, chopped plum tomatoes or 1 1/2 cups cooked, well-drained, 
   chopped spinach, or any other greens 
 1/2 cup finely chopped scallions 
 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
 1 Tbsp freshly chopped parsley
 1/2 tsp oregano
 1/4 tsp cinnamon
 1 tsp fresh mint (heaping measure)
 salt
 freshly ground black pepper
 1 cup all-purpose flour  
 1 tsp 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.   Servings: 36
