GREEN FRIED TOMATOES

GREEN FRIED TOMATOES

These fresh tomatoes came from my garden.

I picked them nice and green, and washed them, wash off the dirt and mud.

And slice them and add a couple cups of oil to a skillet, enough to coat the bottom of the skillet and turn on the heat medium high and allow the oil to get hot.

Meanwhile, add a plate full of flour and coat the tomato slices both sides with flour, after the skillet is hot, add the tomato slices in the hot oil.

Be careful this oil is very hot.

And allow the tomato slices to brown on one side turning only once.

And after slices are brown on both sides careful not to burn transfer to a plate covered with paper towels and allow to cool a little before eating.

Call the family time to eat.

Good Eating!
