Fried Green Tomatoes




My brother has wanted fried green tomatoes all summer. They came down yesterday to watch the Bristol race and we had pulled pork sandwiches and fried green tomatoes. I had never fixed them before, but my best friend Shawna gave me this easy recipe. They were soooo good, I could never tell you how good. You will just have to try them for yourself.  Make sure to get them brown, some of the first ones that came off the stove were lightly browned and didn't taste as good as the ones that were  browned more.

Ingredients:
*green tomatoes, rinsed & medium sliced
*1 box Jiffy corn muffin mix (1 egg, 1/3c. milk)
*vegetable oil

Directions:
Pat tomato slices dry using paper towels. Pour in enough oil in pan to come 1/2 way up on the tomatoes. Let the oil get hot while you are preparing the corn muffin mix. Get the oil hot (similiar to frying chicken), but don't let it get too hot or it will burn the batter too quick. Prepare the muffin mix and dip the tomatoes in the mix one at a time. Place coated tomato slices in the hot oil and fry until browned on both sides. The less you turn them the better, turning too often can cause the batter to fall off the tomatoes. Drain the browned tomatoes on a plate covered with paper towels.
