Oh, so that means you didn't plant the pepper plant I so thoughtfully
brought you? Sob! My feelings are hurt. ;-)
Okay, I make fried green tomatoes, but as with most things I make, I have a
method, not a recipe.
Start with buttermilk. (You can add an egg, or some water, neither will
hurt, but neither are necessary.) Add flour or cornmeal until you get a
"thin pankcake batter" consistency. Add some fresh basil. Add some hot
sauce or pepper powder. Salt, pepper, whatever to your own personal
preference. Put the battter in the freezer until it is really cold. Get
the oil really hot. (I use the old standby cast iron skillet-I know you
have one or two of those!)Coat sliced green tomatoes in the batter. You can
then dip in more cornmeal or flour, but I don't. Fry until batter is golden
brown. (This will also make some awesome onion rings, fried zucchini, fried
anything!)
