Fried Green Tomatoes


No, not the movie, or the restaurant in Galena - fried green tomatoes are a great way to use up those unripened tomatoes before they are ruined by frost.

4-6 medium-large green tomatoes
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup bread crumbs
2 teaspoons sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
vegetable oil for frying

Fill a large frying pan about 1/2 inch deep with vegetable oil. Heat to medium/medium-high
Wash & slice tomatoes about 1/2 inch thick
Coat tomatoes in flour.
Dip floured tomatoes in whisked egg & milk mixture.
Dredge tomatoes through bread crumb, cornmeal, salt & pepper mix.
Carefully put in frypan, leaving room between. Do not crowd.
When they start to brown, carefully turn over with a spatula, and cook until brown on both sides.
Remove from pan onto paper towels.
