Fried Green Tomatoes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 large firm green tomatoes (pick just before they start to turn orange)
flour
salt and pepper to taste
oil

Preparation

Wash and slice tomatoes thick. Salt and pepper each side. Coat with flour and let sit. Cover bottom of frypan (cast-iron skillet works best) with oil and heat on medium-high. When oil is hot, coat tomato slices again in flour and place in pan. Do not overlap slices.
Fry until golden brown. Turn and fry the other side. Drain on paper towels. Add more oil to pan, if necessary, and continue to fry all slices as directed.
Serve while hot and crisp.
