Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes
What would life be like without homegrown tomatoes
Only two things that money can't buy
That's true love and home grown tomatoes.”

"A number of rare or newly experienced foods have been claimed to be aphrodisiacs. At one

the family salad.” Jane Grigson

Fried Green Tomatoes
4 medium-large green tomatoes (about 2lb)
1 cup cornmeal
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon water
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
Remove the stem ends and slice the tomatoes cross-wise into approximately 1/2-in thick slices.
Lay on paper towels and pat dry.
Combine the cornmeal, salt and pepper to taste in a shallow bowl. Whisk the eggs and water
together in another shallow bowl.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Dip each tomato slice in the egg mixture and the
dredge in the cornmeal mixture, coating both sides. Place slice in the heated oil and repeat until the
skillet is full. Fry, turning once, until golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat if oil
starts to smoke. Lay cooked tomatoes on paper towels and serve with hot or room temperature
with coleslaw for a side.
Serves 4.
