Fried Green Tomatoes
Ingredients
2 lbs. Green tomatoes
4 eggs
1 one fourths cup Corn meal
three fourths cup Water
one fourth cup Minced chives or wild onions
1 Tbsp. Salt
one fourth tsp. Pepper, fresh ground
one fourth cup Butter or margarine
Directions
Slice the tomatoes half inch thick, but do not peel or core. Drain well between several
thicknesses of paper toweling until most of the moisture of the tomatoes is absorbed.
While the tomatoes are draining, make a batter by beating the eggs until light, then
mixing in the corn meal, water, minced chives, salt, and pepper. In a large, heavy iron
skillet, heat the butter or margarine until bubbly. Dip the tomato slices into the batter, and
brown quickly on both sides. Serve immediately.
