I made this last summer and it was really good. I love these and I can't wait to make them again. Parmesan Fried Green Tomatoes Jim Fobel's Big Flavors Makes 6 side dish servings 4 medium green tomatoes 2/3 c. all purpose flour 2 large eggs 2/3 c. coarse yellow cornmeal 2/3 c. freshly grated parmesan 2 tsp. dried oregano, crumbled 1 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. pepper 2-1/2 Tbsp. olive oil 2 Tbsp. butter Cut out the woody stem end of each tomatoe, slice the tomatoes about 1/4" thick. You will get about 6 good slices from each, plus the end pieces. Choose 3 shallow dishes for the coating ingredients. Put the flour in one; whisk the eggs with 1 T. water in the second, and stir together the cornmeal, parmesan, oregano, salt and pepper in the third. Do not coat the tomato slices until you are ready to cook them, and then coat only as many as will fit into the pan at one time (6-7). Place a large, heavy skilklet over moderately high heat. Add 1 T. of the olive oil and 1/2 T. of butter. Dip 1 tomato slice in the flour, turning it to coat both sides lightly. Dip into the egg, turning once to coat both sides, and then put it into the cornmeal mixture; tap it several times and turn to coat evenly. Put the coated tomato slice into the hot skillet. Continue coating and adding slices until the pan is full (in a single layer.) Fry until deep golden brown, turning once, 2-3 minutes each side. Drain on paper towels. Repeat, adding 1/2 T. each of olive oil and butter to the pan for each new batch. Sprinkle lightly with salt and serve hot or warm. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Risa G., NJ (9:22:19 pm) : Here is the recipe that goes with the explanation I just made.

Drain the rice. Add 2 c. liquid to the tomatoes and chickpeas and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, add the rice and give it a quick stir; then cover and cook over medium high heat for 5 minutes. Lower the heat and cook until the moisture has been absored, about 2 minutes longer, though possibly longer, depending on the rice. Once the liquid has been absorbed, turn off the heat and lay a clean folded cloth over the rice. Return the lid and let the pot stand undisturbed for 30 minutes.

Finn) Subject: Fried Green Tomatoes Fried Green Tomatoes Sliced green tomatoes (about 1/2 inch thick) mixture of 1/2 cornmeal, 1/2 flour Salt and pepper (to taste) Bacon grease (or oil), about 1/4 inch Bread tomatoes in the seasoned cornmeal/flour mixture, and brown in hot oil. (Practically nothing will be left in the frying pan.) Set aside some riper tomatoes, after frying, to squish up [sic] into the gravy (about 3-4 pieces); place remainder in a shallow baking dish. Return reserved tomatoes to frying pan; "squish 'em up with a pancake turner" [spatula]. Put enough milk in the pan to make the gravy. Season to taste (tabasco, salt, pepper). Serve immediately in baking dish. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vicki,la (10:10:49 pm) : Newsgroups: rec.food.veg.cooking,rec.food.veg,rec.food.cooking,alt.food.fat-free,rec.food.recipes From: emilyb@netcom.com (Emily Breed) Subject: VEGAN: tomatoes & kale side dish Tomatoes & Kale --------------- Ingredients: 6 leaves curly kale 1 can (approx. 16 oz) ready-cut tomatoes in juice Italian-style seasonings to taste (1/2 tsp mixed oregano, basil, and rosemary is a good place to start) Directions: Cut or tear kale into bite-sized pieces. Place in a colander and rinse under running water. Don't drain too thoroughly, as you want a fair bit of water to remain on the leaves. Place the washed kale into a non-stick frying pan on medium heat. Stir as the leaves wilt. When the leaves are wilted but not completely tender (they should be a brilliant green at this point), add the ready-cut tomatoes, reserving the juice. Sprinkle the spices over the pan and continue to stir for a few moments, until the tomatoes are heated through. Add reserved tomato juice to taste; adding a lot will make a soup-like dish, while adding a little will make more of a traditional side dish. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Betsy, NY (10:11:08 pm) : Subject: Two-person tomato salad recipe From: RickM@mnsinc.com (Rick Marinelli) Newsgroups: rec.food.cooking This recipe is the reason why I can have 60+ tomato plants in my garden, and never have to give one away (I do, but I don't have to. :)) I can make it myself, but many will need a second person. The first person does all the preparing of the tomatoes. The second person holds a shotgun. Allow me to explain: Person 1: Cut garden-fresh tomatoes into wedges. Place in shallow bowl. Season with salt and black pepper. Person 2: If Person 1 uses store-bought hothouse tomatoes, shoot Person 1. Person 1: Slice fresh garlic into bowl. Person 2: If Person 1uses garlic powder, shoot Person 1. Person 1: Tear fresh basil leaves into bowl. Person 2: If Person 1 uses dried basil, shoot Person 1. Person 1: Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Person 2: If Person 1 uses Canola oil, shoot Person 1. Person 1: Sprinkle with dried oregano. Person 2: Oregano is one of the few herbs that is better dried than fresh - give Person 1 a break on this one. Person 1: Serve with real, hard crust Italian bread. It is my experience that you either live within bakery-truck distance of New York City, or you bake your own. Person 2: If Person 1 produces one of those oversized hot-dog buns in a plastic bag (known procgiy as "Eye-talian Bread"), put the gun down and kill Person 1 slowly and painfully with a rusty spoon. The proper way to eat this is to sop up the liquid with the bread, scooping up a wedge of tomato as you bring the bread to your mouth. This is heaven, but all kidding aside, it depends completely on using the best ingredients. I give no quantities - everything is "to taste." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Betsy, NY (10:21:17 pm) : From: af961@james.freenet.hamilton.on.ca (Helen Peagram) Newsgroups: rec.food.preserving Title: Green Tomato Chutney Categories: Preserving, Relishes, Chutneys Yield: 1 batch 2 lb Green tomatoes, 1/2" dice (5 3/4 to 6 cups) 1/2 lb Tart green apples (abt. 2 c) ;peeled, cored and diced 1/2 c Golden raisins, packed 1 c Dark brown sugar, packed 1 tb Crystallized ginger, grated 6 Red chili peppers, dried* ;1" long each (then broken) -or- 1 ts Dried crushed red pepper 1 1/2 ts Garlic, minced ;(abt. 3 md. cloves) 1/2 lb Shallots, peeled -or- Peeled pickling onions ;(less than 1" in diameter) ;halved if large (1 1/2 c) -or- 3 md Onions, 1/2" dice 1 1/4 c Cider vinegar Put all ingredients in wide 4-quart saucepan, bring to boil quickly, adjust heat, and boil about 30 minutes, or until as thick as jam.
