Fried green tomatoes, anyone? - pjcooks - 08-08-2007
Our daily squall just blew through, and I didn't have time to move my tomatoes. So, I have 3 green tomatoes for my supper tonight. I have yhe CAH recipe (Issue 8) but I don't want to go to that length.
How do you all do your fried green tomatoes?
Thanks ahead of time if anyone can help.
@%&*@#! summer storms!

I just egg, flour, egg, and a combo of cornmeal/breadcrumbs/grated parm & Italian herbs making sure that everything is well seasoned.
or there's this:

1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
2 large green tomatoes, coarsely chopped (3 cups)
3 cups water
1 tsp salt

Heat oil in 2 quart saucepan on medium heat. Add onion; cook and stir 10 minutes or until softened. Add tomatoes; cook on medium low heat 25 minutes or until tomatoes are softened, stirring occasionally. Add water, simmer 30 minutes or until tomatoes are tender.

I ask him very nicely, and he makes them for me.
Sharon, I saw that soup in the new magazine, and thought it sounded great!

...but, what's a 'Totato'? Will I find it at a farmer's market?????
(maybe 'tween the potatoes and tomatoes??)

We're lucky it isn't worse - I'm wearing out the backspace key!!!

He does have one brother, but he's taken.
We spoke about the tomatoes last night ( he has a fried green tomato salad on the regluar menu). He said, " flour, egg, cornmeal, and frying them in some bacon grease makes them really tasty".
