You can also fry up red tomatoes with this recipe but make sure they are not over ripe or they will be mushy. Serve these tomatoes outside with a glass of iced tea one summer night and enjoy the sunset with someone you love.

Steps:

Slice tomatoes 1/2 inch thick. Discard the ends.
Whisk eggs and milk together in a medium-size bowl. Scoop flour onto a plate. Mix cornmeal, bread crumbs and salt and pepper on another plate. Dip tomatoes into flour to coat. Then dip the tomatoes into milk and egg mixture. Dredge in breadcrumbs to completely coat.
In a large skillet, pour vegetable oil (enough so that there is 1/2 inch of oil in the pan) and heat over a medium heat. Place tomatoes into the frying pan in batches of 4 or 5, depending on the size of your skillet. Do not crowd the tomatoes, they should not touch each other. When the tomatoes are browned, flip and fry them on the other side. Drain them on paper towels.

Steps:

Sprinkle the flour over a plate. Place polenta into a medium bowl, season and mix well. Place eggs in a small bowl and beat. Lightly coat a green tomato slice first in the flour, dusting off any excess, dip in the egg, then coat in polenta. Repeat with remaining slices.
Heat a shallow pool of oil in a large frying pan. Fry the coated tomatoes in batches until golden and crisp on both sides, turning them over with a fish slice. As they are done, drain well on kitchen paper and keep warm in a low oven while you fry remaining batches.
To make the salsa, mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl, then season with salt and pepper. Serve the fried green tomatoes hot, with the salsa spooned over.

MOM'S FRIED RED TOMATOES

My mom's simple recipe. Easy, great and tasty! Please remember the nutritional facts are not correct, because you are not eating all the coating ingredients. Also, these amounts are to my families tastes, adjust to your liking. REMEMBER: TO ADD MORE BUTTER AND OLIVE OIL TO THE PAN AS NEEDED. THERE SHOULD ALWAYS BE A LAYER OF LIQUID TO FRY IN.

Steps:

Cut tomatoes into thick slices. Put aside.
Mix flour, salt and pepper in shallow dish for coating.
Heat butter and olive oil in pan, until it's hot enough to fry inches.
Pre-heat oven to warm setting. (Lowest setting).
Coat tomato slices in flour mixture.
Place in pan until gloden brown.
Place on baking sheet and place in warm oven until ready to serve. (I think they taste better if put in the oven for a little bit because it crisps them up a bit.).
