Fried Green Tomatoes

My brothers and I have eaten fried green tomatoes all of our lives. I can remember my grandmother cooking them on her old wood stove, and then later my Mom, and then later my wife, Peg. Of course Mom and Peg cooked them on a gas range, but the recipe stayed the same.

4 green tomatoes, cut into 1/2-inch slices
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup milk
Canola oil

Combine cornmeal, flour, salt and pepper. Beat egg slightly and add milk. Dip sliced green tomatoes in egg mixture, and then coat with cornmeal misture.

Heat oil about 1 inch deep in a frying pan. Drop coated tomato slices into hot oil. Cook until golden brown.

Serves ?Hmm? Depends on how hungry you are.
