Today in the kitchen we’re cooking up some Fried Green Tomatoes, just like in the movie!
This simple but scrumptious recipe consists of:
2-4 green tomatoes thickly sliced, discard the ends
½ cup flour
2 beaten eggs
1 tablespoon parsley
1 teaspoon of salt and pepper
1 cup bread crumbs
¼ cup olive oil
Place the flour and eggs in separate bowls and place the breadcrumbs in a third bowl with the salt and the pepper.
Dip the tomato slices in flour, then eggs, then bread crumb mixture.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet on medium heat. Deep fry half of the coated tomato slices at a time until golden brown. As you cook the rest of the tomatoes, add olive oil as needed.
Presto! You have delicious fried green tomatoes that are great for brunch or a small get-together.
