Tomato Fritters image

The combination of tomatoes and basil is why I like this recipe so much. A true winter "comfort" recipe, but I find myself preparing it any time of the year just because it's so good and simple. Another "bet you can't eat just one" recipe. If you have fresh basil available, by all means, use it.
