Directions:

  1. Cut the tomatoes into slices or chunks - folks in the various southern branches of my family tree can become quite passionate on the issue of sliced vs. chunked. Personally I prefer chunks. However you cut your green tomatoes, sprinkle each side lightly with salt and let them rest a few minutes. While they're resting, beat the egg lightly.
  2. Dredge the tomato slices in the egg.
  3. In a plastic or small paper bag, combine equal amounts of flour and cornmeal (or use just flour or just cornmeal, depending on your taste) and salt and pepper
  4. Shake a few slices or chunks in bag, set aside.
  5. Continue until all tomato pieces are coated.
  6. Heat the fat over medium-high heat in a large heavy skillet. When your grease is good and hot, retoss tomatoes in the cornmeal/flour mixture.
  7. Fry, turning a couple times, to get good and crisp. Be sure not to crowd the pan, or they’ll be soggy!
