Fried Green Tomatoes

1. Slice the tomatoes ¼–½ inch (0.75–1.25 cm) thick.

2. Salt and pepper tomato slices to taste.

3. Dip slices in cornmeal and shallow fry in hot grease or oil over medium heat for about 3 minutes or until golden on bottom.

4. Gently turn over, and fry the other side.

5. Serve by themselves or, for a elegant addition, add a little goat cheese.
