Fried Green Tomatoes [not the movie]

Friday night we ate from our garden.  In a last minute decision we asked our next door neighbors to come over for dinner and we used what he had at our house to throw together a meal. 

We started with this...

Fried Green Tomatoes

Super Sweet Corn

We combined it with venison burgers and had happy, full tummies at the end of the meal.  I l-o-v-e, LOVE having a garden!  It has saved me so many trips to the grocery store.  So thankful my husband and daughter are into gardening because I pretty much stick with growing flowers and herbs.

A recipe for traditional fried green tomatoes is below.  They are so easy to make and super yummy.  But this weekend I used The Neely's recipe because it adds a little spice and used panko bread crumbs, which is my favorite way to crisp a recipe up.

Traditional Fried Green Tomatoes
Cut tomatoes 1/4 inch thick.  Sprinkle both sides with salt and black pepper.  Dredge in flour.  Then dip tomatoes in a mixture of 2 eggs and 1/2 cup milk.  Then dredge in corn flour.  Fry in in vegetable oil until golden brown and crispy.
