I grew up with what we called Fried Tomatoes in the summertime. My dad traveled for his job in "the country" and our menus came frequently from farmers road side stands' bounty. I had never heard of fried green tomatoes until the movie came out, and have never had them. I thought what my family enjoyed was
normal but folks I talk to have never heard of this. Especially good with home grown
Ingredients:
Fresh red, juicy, home grown tomatoes
Flour with salt and pepper
Hot frying pan with oil
Bread toast "buttered" with margarine
Procedure:
A hot frying pan with a little vegetable oil (I use a square electric one)
In a flat bowl combine flour with some salt and pepper (to taste)
Slice tomatoes in thick slices
Slide and coat the tomato slices with the flour in the bowl
Place the coated tomatoes in the frying pan and cook until browned (both sides)
Removed the cooked tomatoes to another platter
Start making toast and "buttering" it and place in a towel lined basket
Continue cooking all your tomatoes until done
By now the frying pan has lots of broken, browned tomato bits
Add a few more "squishy" tomato slices and break them up
Add milk to the pan and stir until you have a thick, pink gravy
Serving:
Place "buttered" toast on a plate and top with cooked tomato slices
Add pink gravy on top.
Cut, eat and _enjoy_! Oh Boy! is this good (:
Serve with sweetened iced tea
