Fried Green Tomatoes

Heat 1/8 cup oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.

Season corn meal with about 1 teaspoon of salt and a couple teaspoons of pepper. Stir well to incorporate.

Lay sliced green tomatoes on counter and season one side of each tomato with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Place one slice at a time in the seasoned corn meal and coat each side until fully covered. Only the sides of the tomatoes slices shouldn’t be fully coated.

Place several slices of coated tomatoes into the skillet with the heated oil. Place only enough tomatoes to cover the bottom of skillet. Do not stack tomatoes on each other. Save the remaining tomatoes for another batch of frying.

After about 5 or 6 minutes, flip each tomato over and pour another 1/8 cup oil into the skillet (Only add more oil if the first side of frying soaks up most of the oil. If pan still has a lot of oil, don’t add more oil.)

After frying the other side of the tomatoes for 5 or 6 minutes, remove tomatoes and transfer to a dish lined with a few paper towels to soak up any excess oil. Continue frying until all tomatoes are cooked! Enjoy!
