Fried green tomatoes

Step-by-step cooking

   Prepare the ingredients according to the list. There are many variations of frying green tomatoes. They can be fried in batter, with garlic, sauce or simply in breadcrumbs.

5. Step 4:

   

   Pepper and salt tomatoes in a frying pan to taste. Fry the vegetables on medium heat for 5 minutes on one side, then turn them over and keep them on the fire for another couple of minutes, until a golden crust forms. Remove the tomatoes from the pan on a plate with a paper napkin so that the excess oil is absorbed into the paper.
