Fried Green Tomatoes

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup bacon drippings
• 4 medium-sized green tomatoes
• 1/2 cup cornmeal
• salt & pepper, to taste

Serves 4
Cook time: 15 minutes

​Heat bacon drippings in a medium cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.  Slice green tomatoes and press cornmeal into the sliced sides of tomatoes to help it stick.  Then fry in oil until golden brown, flip and fry up other side.  Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, sprinkle with salt and pepper while still hot.  Serve immediately.
