Fried Green Tomatoes

43

This week’s farm share included 2 pounds of green tomatoes. It is unbelievable that we’re still getting tomatoes at this time of year!

I only know two things to do with them and that is to fry them up or pickle them. I’ll fry a couple of batches and can the rest I guess.

Ingredients:
1 medium green tomato
1/4 cup fine corn meal
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup cream
1/4 cup milk
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
Vegetable oil

Directions:
1. Slice the tomato into 1/4 inch slices

2. Add dry ingredients to a mixing bowl. Whisk in cream and milk until you have a smooth thin batter.

3. Add tomatoes to the batter and make sure they are coated well. Allow to sit while you heat oil in a large iron (or non-stick) skillet over medium heat.

4. Fry for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown on one side. Flip and repeat so that both sides are golden brown.

5. Remove from skillet, season with salt, and allow to dry on a drying rack or on paper towels.
