Preparation

Step 1

Wash and slice the tomatoes into very thin slices.

Pour the beer into a medium-sized bowl, and place the tomato slices in the beer. Make sure they’re all covered, and allow to marinate for 5 minutes.

Combine the cornmeal and flour in a large bowl.

Cover the bottom of a large skillet with oil, and heat on medium heat for about 5 minutes. Test to make sure the oil is ready by sprinkling a little flour into the oil. If it sizzles, it’s hot enough.

When the tomatoes are marinated, salt and pepper each slice.

Dip each slice into the cornmeal mixture to cover both sides. Carefully place the tomatoes into the hot oil.

Fry on each side for about 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
