Fried Green Tomatoes

Summer is officially gone, and while there are plenty of green tomatoes on the vines in our fields they won't ripen before the frost kills them. So we've harvested most of our green tomatoes, but these unripe tomatoes contain almost as many nutrients as ripe tomatoes, and have just as versatile. And in true Southern fashion why not fry a few of those green tomatoes in your share this week?

• 4 large green tomatoes
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cornmeal
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs
• 2  teaspoons coarse kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• vegetable oil for frying

1. Slice tomatoes 1/2 inch thick. Discard the ends.
2. Whisk eggs and milk together in a medium-size bowl. Scoop flour onto a plate. Mix cornmeal, bread crumbs and salt and pepper on another plate. Dip tomatoes into flour to coat. Then dip the tomatoes into milk and egg mixture. Dredge in breadcrumbs to completely coat.
3. In a large skillet, pour vegetable oil (enough so that there is 1/2 inch of oil in the pan) and heat over a medium heat. Place tomatoes into the frying pan in batches of 4 or 5, depending on the size of your skillet. Do not crowd the tomatoes, they should not touch each other. When the tomatoes are browned, flip and fry them on the other side. Drain them on paper towels.
