Helpful Tips:
1. Salt the tomato slices for twenty minutes to pull out any extra moisture.
2. If the oil becomes too hot before you begin frying, then add more oil to bring down the temperature.
3. If you don’t want to set up a fryer, then shallow fry the tomatoes in a high-sided pan.
4. Zucchini is a great alternative to green tomatoes in this recipe.
