Fried green tomatoes 28 july 1994

6 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
½ cup Wholewheat flour
2 tablespoons Sugar
1½ teaspoon Salt
1 pinch Black pepper
1 pinch Cayenne
5 larges Green tomatoes, sliced 1/2\" thick
2 tablespoons Canola oil

Directions

Combine the first five ingredients in a medium-sized bowl.

Dredge both sides of the tomato slices with the flour mixture.

Preheat the oven to 275F.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the tomato slices in a single layer until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.

Cover and place in the oven to keep warm while cooking the other slices. Repeat the process until all slices are cooked, adding oil as needed. Serve hot.

MARK'S NOTE: At 595 mg there does seem to be an excessive amount of sodium in this recipe. I don't know if green tomatoes require more salt than red ones, but those watching sodium intake may wish to avoid this recipe.
