1/4 cup milk
2 beaten eggs
2/3 cup fine dry bread crumbs or cornmeal
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 bottles of your favorite wine

1. Gather ingredients.
2. Cut unpeeled tomatoes into 1/2 inch slices
3. Open first bottle of wine and pour yourself a glass.

5. Drink glass of wine and pour another.
6. Heat 2 Tbsp of olive oil in a skillet on medium heat.
7. Polish off that glass of wine and pour another.

9. Finish off that first bottle of wine and open second... get out a bigger glass and pour wine into it to the rim.
10. As you cook the rest of the tomatoes, add olive oil as needed. Don't forget to take a swig or two of that wine while you do so... you may need a few extra hands.
11. Season to taste with salt and pepper... and more wine.
12. Toss out those silly green tomato thingys and just open that third bottle of wine. Be sure to be comfy because the blissful blackness will probably take over any second now.

Answer 5

I use a wet recipe. I start with flour then add seasoning salt, garlic powder a little lemon pepper and add milk until it's thick enough (but not too thick) to stick to the tomato slices (about a 1/4" thick) Then fried in oil until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels and enjoy!

Answer 6

Cut and dry with paper towel. Dredge in a mix of flower, some salt and pepper, fry in medium to hot oil until golden brown...will be sour and taste great...good green tomatoes need very little help. Same thing for sliced mushrooms..just make sure you blot dry them so the flower will stick. good luck

Answer 7

Batter the sliced green tomatoes with a mixture of one part flour to three parts corn mill. dip tomatoes in milk and then in mill mixture and put in hot oil that has heated in a cast iron skillet. cook on both sides until golden brown. In my part of the country we call them fried green maters and eat them with a glass of buttermilk.
