A low-fat version of the southern staple; fried green tomatoes are one of my favorite foods. Best with homegrown tomatoes that are fresh picked from the garden, you can find nice firm varieties at your local fruit market or grocer’s stand.
This dish is a perfect side for any meal, but I like it with eggs and wheat toast for breakfast or snack.
