Simple Food: Fried Green Tomatoes

Oh my! How I love fried green tomatoes! I just had to share my very own recipe:

Ginger's Fried Green Tomatoes

* Sliced green tomatoes
* White corn meal
* Creole seasoning or whatever seasoning you like
* Cooking oil

--Place sliced green tomatoes in a bowl of water and place in refrigerator.  Allow tomatoes to chill overnight or a few hours. When ready to cook: heat oil on medium heat. Be very careful to not overheat oil. Pour a cornmeal into a bowl (when I am preparing about 3-4 medium sized tomatoes, I use about 1 1/2- 2 cups). Then add your seasoning into the cornmeal and blend well. Take tomato slices (individually) and coat them with cornmeal mixture by placing them into batter, patting, and repeating on other side. Make sure to evenly coat them on both sides. Next, you simply place coated tomato slices into the hot oil and allow to brown on both sides (you will need to flip them w/a fork or spatula). I prefer for my fried green tomatoes to be golden brown but make them however you like them. These are an absolutely wonderful summertime companion to any meal! Enjoy:-)
