Herb Crusted Fried Green Tomatoes
November 15, 2008 – 9:00 am
This is a modern version of classic fried green tomatoes.
They are so simple and fast to make!
It’s what to do with those tomatoes that quite did not get to ripen in time.
I jazz it up with some cayenne pepper when in the mood for some “kick”
Ingredients:
2 green tomatoes, sliced 1/4 inch thick
fresh ground black pepper & salt to taste
1 cup coarsely ground cornmeal
1 Tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
1 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1 Tbsp fresh tarragon, chopped
2 tsp finely chopped red onion
2 Tbsp olive oil
Place the sliced tomatoes on a plate, salt & pepper to taste, let sit for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a sauté pan and place the cornmeal and the other ingredients in a bowl, mix well. Take the tomato slices one by one and coat both sides with the cornmeal mix. Cook the tomatoes on both sides till slightly brown. Drain on paper towels and serve.
