Fried Green Tomatoes
There’s a restaurant in Guinda called the Guinda Commons. It’s the only restaurant in town and they do a lot of southern cooking. One of the favorites on their menu is their fried green tomatoes which taste great on a BLT sandwich instead of regular tomatoes. There are other ways to use green tomatoes. This web site (http://www.thekitchn.com/what-to-do- with-green-tomatoes-66605) has some ideas. Our crew thinks the best idea is green salsa!
Ingredients
1 pound green tomatoes
1/2 cup cornmeal
salt and freshly ground pepper
Safflower oil – or whatever oil you like to use for frying. Classic southern fried green tomatoes are cooked in bacon drippings in a cast iron skillet.
Instructions
Slice the tomatoes about 1/2 inch thick. Season the cornmeal with salt and pepper and dredge the tomatoes in it.
Heat a heavy skillet, either cast iron or nonstick, over medium-high heat and add enough oil to coat the bottom by about 1/8-inch. Fry the tomatoes on each side until golden, about two or three minutes per side. Drain on paper towels or on a paper bag on a rack.
