Fried Green Tomatoes!

Serving up today's recipe....a classic movie and appetizer.....Fried Green Tomatoes! Enjoy!

Fried Green Tomatoes
1/4 cup Canola or Vegetable Oil
1/3 cup of flour
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup cornmeal
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
chipotle powder(optional)
2 whole Medium, Firm Green Tomatoes, Sliced 1/2-inch Thick
-Heat the oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat.
Place the flour, egg and cornmeal in separate bowls and season with salt and pepper. Add the chipotle powder, if using, to the cornmeal. Dredge tomato slices, one at a time, in the flour, shaking off excess. Then dip into the egg, shaking off the excess, and coat with cornmeal.
Place coated tomato slices in the skillet with heated oil and cook for about 4 minutes on each side, or until golden. Repeat with remaining tomatoes. Drain on a paper towel-lined dish, sprinkle with salt and serve immediately.

We hope you all have a great weekend!
