A
TASTE OF MYSTERY COOKBOOK
FRIED
GREEN TOMATOES
In
Buried Diamonds, Claire asks Tom about these, as it’s the only
recipe she’s familiar with that calls for green tomatoes.
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons
bacon grease
4 firm green tomatoes sliced
2 eggs, beaten
Flour
Milk
Salt
Pepper
Preparation:
Heat bacon
grease in a heavy frying pan. Dip tomatoes in eggs, then in bread crumbs.
Slowly fry them in the bacon grease until golden brown on both sides.
Remove to a plate.
For each
tablespoon of grease left in the pan, stir in one tablespoon of flour
and blend well; then stir in one cup warm milk and cook until thickened,
stirring constantly. Add salt and pepper to taste. Pour over the tomatoes
and serve hot.
