Fried Green Tomatoes

Fried Green Tomatoes

From Soul Food Recipes

Tomatoes were and still are a very easy plant to grow. All you need is soil with the right ph balance, a little sun, and regular watering to harvest a great tomato crop just about anywhere. I have lived in many states from North Carolina, to Florida, to Hawaii, to Alaska (while flying military transport aircraft). I grew tomatoes in each of these locations with ease. While tomatoes grow fast, it's hard to wait for them to ripen. Now you've got a great way to eat mature but not ripened tomatoes. Do let some vine ripen though. A juicy fully vine-ripened tomato eaten fresh off the vine is a treat in itself.
Ingredients
4 large green tomatoes
2 cups corn meal (white)
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 cup Wesson oil
Preparation:
1. Clean tomatoes
2. Slice tomatoes in slices about the thickness of a cooked hamburger patty
3. Heat oil in frying pan over medium heat.
4. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of tomato slices. I spread them on a clean plate to do this.
5. Coat each side of tomato slices with cornmeal. I simply sprinkled the corn meal over the tomatoes on the plate, turned them over, and sprinkled the other side.
6. Gently shake off the loose meal and then place tomato slices in hot oil.
7. Cook over medium heat until brown on one side, turn over and brown the other side.
8. Place on a paper towel to drain.
9. Serve hot.
I enjoy them with grits.
