When I was growing up, these were a summertime favorite with my family. Back then, we just dipped the tomato slices in flour and fried them in butter.

Ingredients

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
3 to 4 green tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch slices
Oil for deep-fat frying

Directions

In a bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, cheese, oregano, salt and pepper. Coat tomato slices with flour mixture.
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Fry tomatoes for 2-3 minutes on each side until tender and lightly browned. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.

I like FGT's,but I love these. I've even converted FGT haters,into at least likers. I make a big batch(4x) of coating mix and store it in freezer.I also cut my slices thinner.
