Well… More like an after dinner snack. The garden is full of big green orbs and I couldn’t resist. I dressed up the kind Grandma makes with a little extra seasoning. Still fast and easy:
The Goods:
- 1 large green tomato
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- garlic powder to taste
- paprika to taste
- Corn meal to coat
- 1 dollop of bacon grease or other cooking lubricant
The Process:
Preheat your pan on medium heat and drop that bacon fat in there. Evenly coat the cooking surface. Drop a pile of corn meal onto a paper plate. Slice the tomato. I prefer a thin cut, around 1/8th of an inch. Sprinkle salt, pepper paprika and garlic to your liking. press te seasoned side of the tomato into the cornmeal to get a nice coating on there. repeat for the other side. Slide your coated tomato slices into the pan and brown each side. Plate, let them cool for a minute or two and enjoy.
Any simpler and it would be a salad.
Does your Grandma have a better FGT recipe? Let me know in the comments.
