INSTRUCTIONS
To make the sauce, combine all ingredients in a saucepan and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. TIP! Crush each tomato by sqeezing, in your hand; squeeze over the saucepan to catch the juice. The sauce may be made up to 1 day in advance, refrigerated and reheated. For the fritters, place all ingredients save the oil in a large bowl and mix well. The batter will be somewhat loose. Heat 1/4 cup oil over high heat. Spoon 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet at a time, putting as many fritters in the pan as can fit without crowding. Cook until lightly browned on one side (3-5 mins), turn with a spatula and brown the other side. Drain the fritters on paper towls. Repeat with remaining batter until all the fritters are cooked. Top with tomato-lemon sauce and serve.
