Here's a great way to finish up those late tomatoes — fried green tomatoes!
- Just slice 'em up and throw them in a paper bag with some cornmeal.
- Pour just enough oil to cover the bottom of the frying pan, and let it come to a low sizzle (on my glass-top stove, that's a 5 setting for starters and I have to move it back to 3 as I cook).
- Close the bag and shake it up. Place each slice in the oil and let them get golden brown, turning them once to get the other side. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper.
(And here's where I shake up the recipe with an idea from a fancy-schmancy restaurant in Thomasville)
- While they're still hot, put a small slice of aged cheese (like parmesan) on each tomato slice, and a dab (about a teaspoon) of italian sauce on top of that. You don't want to pour sauce all over because it'll drown out the other good flavours.
Ta-Da! Sorry, I was getting hungry and forgot to take a picture of the final product. Trust me, it was yummy!
