Fried Green Tomatoes

By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 5 green tomatoes, cored and cut into 1/4-inch slices (see Tip)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup self-rising white cornmeal mix
• 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine egg, water, salt, and pepper; mix well. Add tomato slices in batches, turning to coat well.

In a shallow dish, combine flour and cornmeal mix; mix well. Dip each tomato slice in flour mixture, coating completely.

In a large skillet, heat oil over high heat until hot but not smoking. Fry tomato slices in batches 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden.

Drain on a paper towel-lined platter, then serve.
