[Green tomato recipes]

Here is my way to prepare green tomatoes:

Ingredients:

• 4-5 green tomatoes
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup cornmeal
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 2 large eggs
• Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions:

1. Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Set aside.
2. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs.
4. Dip each tomato slice into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
5. Coat the tomato slice in the flour-cornmeal mixture, pressing lightly to ensure it adheres. Repeat with the remaining tomato slices.
6. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
7. Carefully place the coated tomato slices into the hot oil, a few at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
8. Fry the tomatoes for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown. Adjust the heat if needed to prevent burning.
9. Once fried, transfer the tomatoes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
10. Serve the fried green tomatoes hot as a side dish or appetizer. They can be enjoyed on their own or with a dipping sauce like ranch dressing or remoulade.

You can also add a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese or a dash of hot sauce to the flour-cornmeal mixture for added flavor. I usually serve them with …………….or korean fried chicken.
