finger food
The tomato may just be my favorite thing about summer. The French often refer to the tomato as the “pomme d'amour” or "love apple" and I can think of no other vegetable (or fruit, botanically speaking) that incites more amorous excitement or that I eat with more relish than a sun-ripened tomato. It has no prickly edges or tough skin to peel - you just eat it up, letting its juices run down your chin. Summer bliss!

The tomato, in all its forms, is honestly my favourite addition or centre piece to any dish. These fritters, covered in a crispy, golden batter with a sweet, tangy centre, are perfectly complimented by a fresh basil aioli. Serve outside on a warm evening as a light snack or add these to a delicious mezze platter and enjoy with some crunchy bread!
