WHEN AN ACCIDENT GIVES YOU GREEN TOMATOES......

FRY THEM UP!

When a large branch snaps off your tomato bush and the cluster of tomatoes hasn't had a chance to ripen yet, what do you do?  Fry up some green tomatoes, baby!  They were so incredibly tasty that now I may be harvesting these beauties before they get the first tinge of pink in them. Next time around, I am spreading them with some goat cheese before I coat them in cornmeal and fry them up. 

I will let you know how that goes.....

(P.S. don't let my incredible photo styling intimidate you....)

Simple how-to

Heat approx. 1/2 inch of canola oil in saucepan

Mix a half cup or so of cornmeal with a little salt and pepper

Slice a few green tomatoes

Dip tomatoes in shallow milk bath

Dredge tomatoes in corn meal until lightly coated

Gently place coated tomatoes in oil (with tongs)

Flip over after about 2 minutes until both sides are lightly browned

Remove and place on paper-towel lined plate to drain and cool a bit

Feast and enjoy!
