Title: Fried Green Tomatoes 28 July 1994
Categories: Side Vegetable
Yield: 6 Servings

1/2	c	Wholewheat flour
2	tb	Sugar
1 1/2	ts	Salt
1	pn	Black pepper
1	pn	Cayenne
5	lg	Green tomatoes, sliced 1/2" - thick
2	tb	Canola oil

Combine the first five ingredients in a medium-sized bowl.

Dredge both sides of the tomato slices with the flour mixture. Preheat the oven to 275F.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the tomato slices in a single layer until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Cover & place in the oven to keep warm while cooking the other slices. Repeat the process until all slices are cooked, ading oil as needed. Serve hot.

MARK'S NOTE: At 595 mg there does seem to be an excessive amount of sodium in this recipe. I don't know if green tomatoes require more salt than red ones, but those watching sodium intake may wish to avoid this recipe.
