Fried Green Tomatoes

The CSA members received two green tomatoes in their baskets this week . . . with the intention that if they had never experienced a fried green tomato . . . they had no excuse to not try it now! What else are you going to do with that bright green thing? Try this recipe and you will find yourself eagerly awaiting their arrival every year!

Fried Green Tomatoes

  • 1 egg
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/4 t freshly ground pepper
  • 1/2 c flour
  • fresh green tomatoes
  • 1 T vegetable oil

Heat frying pan with vegetable oil on medium heat. Slice tomatoes 1/4 inch thick. Beat egg, salt and pepper in a shallow bowl. Evenly spread the flour on a small plate. Dip the tomato slice into the egg scramble mixture, then into the flour, making sure that both sides as well coated. Once oil is hot toss the coated tomatoes in the frying pan, cooking 4-6 minutes on each side or until light brown, remove and place on paper towel to soak excess grease. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, eat while hot.
