Ingredients

4 large or 6 medium green tomatoes, thickly sliced
1 C. flour
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
Oil for frying

Directions

Soak tomatoes in a mixture of about 2 quarts water and 2 Tbs. salt for about 1/2 hour. In a large plastic food bag, mix flour, salt, pepper and cayenne. Drain tomatoes and drop a few slices at a time into the bag and shake to coat completely. Heat oil in a large skillet and fry coated tomato slices until browned on each side, about 2 minute per side. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper.
