TODAY'S RECIPE: TWO WAYS TO FRY GREEN TOMATOES

 

Fried green tomatoes: It sounds slightly romantic, and hearkens us

back to simpler life in the country. But how, exactly, do you make

them? Here are two different possibilities--one a little spicy, the

other slightly sweet. Both are breaded with cornmeal and quickly fried

in a little olive oil. They're best served hot but are also good cold.

Quantities are all up to you, so it's tricky to give a nutritional

breakdown. However, a large green tomato will have about 43 cal, .4 gm

fat, 0 mg cholesterol, 9.2 gm carbohydrates, 2 gm fiber, 2.2 gm

protein, 23 mg sodium.

 

Spicy Version:

Green tomatoes, sliced

Tabasco sauce

Cornmeal

Olive oil, for frying

 

Sprinkle Tabasco sauce lightly over tomatoes; marinate a few minutes.

Bread tomatoes with cornmeal. Brown on both sides in oil; drain on

paper towels.

 

Sweet Version:

Green tomatoes, sliced

Salt and pepper, to taste

Brown sugar, to taste

Cornmeal

Olive oil, for frying

 

Sprinkle tomatoes with salt, pepper, and brown sugar to taste. Bread

tomatoes with cornmeal. Brown on both sides in oil; drain on paper

towels.
