Fried Green Tomatos

Cherry Tomato Plant

Beefsteak Tomato Plant

Our Little Container Garden

Condo living in South Florida, has it's advantages and disadvantages

in regards to maintaining a garden.

But I do what I can...

I bought my little tomato plants about six weeks ago,

and they were only a couple inches tall,

now, how these babies have flourished!

Which makes tomato season early for me.

My neighbor and I share this little community garden by our pool.

Growing in Our Garden:

cherry tomatos

beefsteak tomatos

chili peppers

basil

rosemary

&

one lime tree

One of my favorite Southern summer treats

 is Fried Green Tomatos...

though I tend not to deep fry

anything in my kitchen,

here is a simple and slightly healthier recipe.

Fried Green Tomatos

Serves: 2-4

1-2 green tomatos

1 egg

1/2 -3/4 cup of self-rising corn flour

3 tbsp vegetable, canola, or light olive oil

Slice tomatos about a 1/3 of an inch thick.

Dip each slice in beaten egg,

the dredge in cornmeal flour,

coating both sides.

Once oil is heated

on medium to medium-high in skillet or fry pan,

fit tomatoes in and cook to desired texture.

(I prefer them a little al dente, with the breading just beginning to crisp.)

Have you planted your summer garden?

Bon Appetit!
