Fried Green Maters

I love tomatoes! As I am patiently waiting for my tomatoes to turn red in my garden, I've decided to pluck a few and fry some up!

4-6 tomatoes
Cornmeal
Salt and Pepper
Vegetable Oil

Heat Oil in a frying pan. Slice washed tomatoes into 1/4 inch slices. Salt and Pepper to taste. Cover tomato slices in cornmeal. Once your oil is ready, fry each slice of tomato for about 3 minutes on the first side and gently turn over and fry for an additional 3 minutes or until a nice golden brown. Serve hot and Enjoy!
