Meatless Monday Recipe

Fried Green Heirloom Tomatoes

Servings 4-6

Ingredients:

2-3 med/lg green tomatoes, sliced thick

3 Tablespoons organic milk

2 Tablespoons organic sour cream

1 organic egg, beaten well

¼ cup organic all purpose flour, on a small plate

½ cup organic cornmeal

¼ cup organic all purpose flour

1 teaspoon sea salt, fine

¼ to ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (to taste)

¼ teaspoon organic cayenne (optional, to taste)

organic vegetable oil for frying

Mix milk, sour cream and the well beaten egg in a shallow bowl. Set aside. In another bowl mix cornmeal, 1/4 cup flour, sea salt, pepper and cayenne. Mix well. Pour onto large plate.
Heat vegetable oil to 375 degrees F, ¼ inch deep in your pan. Arrange your plates and cutting board in a line near your stove. First should be your plate with tomato slices, next your small plate with just flour, after that your egg mixture, your cornmeal mixture and finally the hot pan with oil.

Cover the tomato slice in flour, then soak in egg mixture to coat completely. Set the wet tomato slice on the cornmeal mix and cover completely. It now goes right into the hot oil. Cook approximately 2 minutes per side, or until lightly golden brown. Remove onto a surface to drain, placing paper towels underneath to catch oil as it drips off. Pat very lightly to remove extra oil and serve warm. Enjoy!
