Fried Red Tomatoes

by Michael on September 29, 2009

Ingredients

3 large tomatoes

1/2 cup corse cornmeal or polenta

1/2 cup fine cornmeal

1/4-1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste

sunflower oil

Procedure:

Core the tomatoes and then slice to desired size.  Combine all ingredients except oil and mix completely.  Dredge the tomato slices in the mixture to coat.

Pour 1/3 – 1/4 inch of oil into a heavy skillet.  Heat oil to medium.  Don’t crowd the pan so that the tomatoes cook evenly.  Cook until golden brown around 3 min per side.  Allow the oil to drain by cooling the tomatoes on paper towels.  Serve while still warm but not hot or wet.
