Fried Green Tomatoes

1 1/2 cups plain cornmeal (yellow or white - we use white)
1 tablespoon salt or to taste
1 teaspoon black pepper
Corn oil
6 to 8 medium-sized green tomatoes (must not be turning -slightly white is okay)

1. Wash and slice the tomatoes approximately 1/4-inch thick. In a bowl, mix cornmeal, salt, and black pepper.
2. In a 12-inch skillet, heat 3/8-inch of oil to the temperature that you would fry fish (360 to 375*F or 185 to 190*C). Put the tomato slices in the cornmeal, a few at a time to coat them. Have a platter lined with paper towels or napkins to absorb the excess grease. Fry them until both sides are brown (try to only turn them one time). If all are not eaten at one meal, they can be reheated in the oven. They tend to get soggy when microwaved.
