Tomato/Basil Side Dish image

A light and garlicy accompaniment. I saw this in a cooking magazine years ago but can't tell you which one. Edited to add: I think that if spearmint and oregano were subbed for the basil, this would make a great accompaniment for Greek dishes. Let me know what you all think....
