I just made fried green tomatoes.

B/c I could.

I wait all year for the bumper crop of tomatoes to come into the farmers' market and some of them are green.

I had to make them yesterday when I bought them or tonight. Tomorrow, they wouldn't be green -- and that's with refrigeration.

I chose a recipe that was simply seasoned flour with white fine corn meal. I fried them in a cast iron 12" skillet in ca. 1" of canola oil at 350 degrees. They came out golden-brown, and crispy, not greasy. And sweet yet firm inside.

Same way.

cast iron skillet
cornmeal -- I like the coarse grind here, to give it a little kick. Bob's Red Mill.
butter

My farmers market will have them maybe next week.
