these are the fried green tomatoes i made for my bbq sandwich over the weekend. don't they look so good and greasy! instead of the typical cornmeal coating, i used panko bread crumbs. they turned out so light (not in calories) and crispy. get out three dishes and add 1 cup of flour in one, 2 eggs, beaten in another, and 1 cup of panko in the third. add a 1/2 teaspoon each of garlic and onion powder to the flour, and a pinch of cayenne to the panko. salt and pepper the sliced tomatoes. get a cast iron skillet heated with enough vegetable oil to fry the tomatoes in. once the oil is good and hot (350 degrees), add the tomatoes and cook about 2 minutes per side. don't over crowd the pan, work in batches. once the tomatoes are golden, remove them to a plate covered with paper towels. this will soak up a bit of oil and give you back a few calories! sprinkle the tomatoes with a little salt while they are still hot. try these, just once this summer before the yummy tomatoes are all gone. a little indulgence from time to time never hurt anyone. right?
