FRIED GREEN TOMATOES PARMESAN

VEGETARIAN

Ingredients

I just made these tonight (my recipe) and they turned out really well so I thought Id share this with those of you whose tomatoes havent quite turned red yet!

Instructions

4 medium firm green tomatoes 2 cups flour 2 eggs beaten Tabasco
sauce to taste 3 cups fresh breadcrumbs 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
cheese Salt and pepper to taste Canola or peanut oil for frying
Ranch dressing your favorite Cut each tomato into four even
slices after slicing off the blossom and stem ends. Place the
flour in a zipper top bag and salt and pepper to taste. Take the
beaten eggs and place in a medium bowl; add Tabasco sauce to
taste and mix well. In a larger bowl mix together breadcrumbs and
Parmesan cheese and add salt and pepper to taste. Take four
slices of tomato place them in the bag with the flour inflate bag
and shake well to lightly coat the tomato slices. Take tomato
slices one at a time and dip into egg mixture then into bread
crumb mixture pressing gently to evenly coat. Repeat until all
tomatoes are coated. In a large skillet (I prefer cast iron) pour
about 1 1/2 inches of oil (I prefer canola) and heat until very
hot. Drop slices of tomato into the hot oil and fry until deep
golden brown. Remove to paper towels to drain. Even though the
oil should cover the tops of the tomatoes you may need to turn
them once during frying as the bottoms will tend to brown faster
than the tops. If you like sprinkle the tops with more Parmesan.
Serve with your favorite ranch dressing. Yield: 16 slices
