Fried green tomatoes are best when served hot--straight out of the skillet, so be sure to time your planned meal around this southern specialty!

2 pounds green tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch slices

1 1/2 cups cornmeal

Salt and pepper to taste

Vegetable oil for frying

1. Dredge tomato slices in cornmeal.
2. Heat 1/4-inch-deep oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat; add tomato slices, a few at a time, and fry about 2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
