IDEAS?
I also ended up with several POUNDS of assorted basils......besides freezing in oil.....????

The concept is the same as meatballs but instaed of meat you use tomatos.
One of the glorious Greek dishes :)

Servings 4-6

4 medium ripped tomatos - purreed
2 medium zucchini- finely chopped
1 medium chopped onion
1-21/2 cups of all purpose flour
some parsely-chopped
some mint or basil ( I suggest the later) chopped
salt-pepper to taste
seed oil for frying

Mix together all the ingredients and add enough of the flour in order to have a firm dough.
In very hot oil, you spoon the dough.
Place your tomato balls n kitchen towels in order to abdsorb the excess oil.
Enjoy!

Sorry cape chef for not replying earlier! I have just seen that!

Tomato balls are a lent dish and during the fast period we are not suppose to eat any kind of cheese :)
I thought many times to add some feta cheese but I haven't dared it so far. Why? I fear that they will stick on the pan while frying them!
As for the sauce, as far as I know we don't serve tomato balls with any kind of sauce!
