Fried Tomatoes : page 169
I love fried tomatoes (especially fried green tomatoes), but my results have been decidedly hit-or-miss. Three small things will make this my go-to recipe. First, the flour is mixed with an equal amount of breadcrumbs. I suspect this gives a much crunchier crust with less risk of burning. Second, the timing is about right (4 minutes per side over a medium burner).
And finally, topping the tomatoes with brown sugar at the end! What a delight, to add sweetness to the acidic tomato and lightly peppered dredge! (In fairness, my kid didn't like this... so I won't sugar his in future.)
