FRIED GREEN TOMATOES....SOUTHERN STYLE

Posted Bt Tessie2.

Ingredients.

fresh green tomatoes
flour
salt
pepper
vegetable oil





Slice tomatoes about 1/4". Spread on plate. Sprinkle salt evenly over tomatoes. Continue placing tomato slices in layer over previous layer and sprinkle with salt until all tomatoes have been salted.
IMPORTANT: LET THE TOMATOES SIT (ROOM TEMPERATURE OR REFRIGERATOR) AT LEAST SIX (6) HOURS. This removes water from tomatoes so that they will cook up nice and crispy.

Remove tomatoes from container. Mix flour, a little salt and pepper (to taste) in bowl. Coat each tomato slice with flour. LET SIT 30 MINUTES.

Heat oil in a skillet to medium high. Place tomatoes in oil. (Reduce heat when necessary). Let tomatoes brown on one side, then turn and brown on the other. When tomatoes are a golden brown, remove one at a time and place on paper towels to drain.
