Fried green tomatoes are a side dish usually found in the Southern United States, made from unripe tomatoes coated with cornmeal and fried (and made famous by a 1991 movie by the same name). Shallow fry the tomatoes as tomatoes do not float in oil.
Serves 4
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:
230g / ½ cup all-purpose flour

Directions:
Place the flour, eggs, and cornmeal in three separate shallow bowls.
Dip the tomatoes first in the flour, then the eggs (letting any excess drip off), and finally in the cornmeal, pressing gently to help it adhere.

In batches, fry the tomatoes until golden, 1-2 minutes per side.
