Ingredients:


1 cup cornmeal

5 medium green tomatoes -- in 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch slices

1/2 cup vegetable oil -- or bacon fat

1 teaspoon salt and freshly ground pepper

6 sprigs cilantro -- optional
 

Preparation / Directions:


Sprinkle cornmeal on a piece of wax paper or a large flat plate. Dip each tomato slice into cornmeal and pat gently until cornmeal covers the surface; turn slice over and coat the other side. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add tomato slices, and fry in one layer, without crowding, for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with sprigs of cilantro.
