Fried Green Tomatoes

Posted by Elise on Oct 17, 2005 (I nabbed this recipe via Simply Recipes)

Ever since that wonderful movie with Jessica Tandy I've wondered about fried green tomatoes. People really eat green tomatoes? I recall being served fried tomatoes for breakfast while visiting London, but they weren't green. Curious as usual, we found some big green tomatoes at the farmer's market last weekend and just had to try them. The verdict at this house? Yum! What a great way to make use of end-of-the-season tomatoes.

Fried Green Tomatoes Recipe

Ingredients

3 medium, firm green tomatoes
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup milk
2 beaten eggs
2/3 cup fine dry bread crumbs or cornmeal
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Method

1 Cut unpeeled tomatoes into 1/2 inch slices. Sprinkle slices with salt and pepper. Let tomato slices stand for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, place flour, milk, eggs, and bread crumbs in separate shallow dishes.

2 Heat 2 Tbsp of olive oil in a skillet on medium heat. Dip tomato slices in milk, then flour, then eggs, then bread crumbs. In the skillet, fry half of the coated tomato slices at a time, for 4-6 minutes on each side or until brown. As you cook the rest of the tomatoes, add olive oil as needed. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

I have tons of green tomatoes in my garden and I just might have to try this . . .

August's Book

Hello CLEO!!

Kowanda picked Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe for this month's book. Wonder how close it is to the movie? (which is totally a classic movie in my book).

















Just had to add this picture of fried green tomatoes. Looks delicious, no?

Below is a link to a webpage with questions to think about while reading any book. It's just a thought, but reading more critically might affect (effect?....I always get them confused!) our discussions. Check it out if you get a chance.

This month I chose two books for our reading pleasure. Feel free to read both, or pick the one that is the most interesting to you. Both are available at the AF library. My copies are also in circulation and should make the rounds.... Happy reading!

June's Book

Hello everyone! This month's book group was on the small side, considering our phone tree didn't work out so well, and Tonni was out of the country! Our book is Tallgrass by Sandra Dallas. Happy reading, see you in July, when it will again be my turn to pick a book for us. . . :)
