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

Dredge tomato slices in cornmeal.
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.

Makes 4 to 6 servings.
 
Pizzadilla

This quick appetizer features pizza ingredients as well as tortillas.

2 (8-inch) flour tortillas
1 tablespoon LAND O LAKES® Butter, melted
1/4 cup thick and chunky salsa
12 slices pepperoni
1/4 cup sliced ripe olives
2 slices (1-ounce each) LAND O LAKES® Provolone Cheese, cut in half

Brush one side of each tortilla with melted butter. Place tortillas buttered-side down. Spread 2 tablespoons salsa on unbuttered side of half of each tortilla.
Place 6 slices pepperoni, 2 tablespoons olives and 2 half slices cheese over salsa on each tortilla. Fold tortillas in half.
In 10-inch skillet cook tortillas over medium heat until lightly browned (2 to 3 minutes). Turn tortillas over; continue cooking until lightly browned and cheese is melted (1 to 2 minutes).
Cut each tortilla into 6 wedges.

Makes 12 wedges.

Grocery stores dont have green tomatoes.... :|

Yes, true what I see Groceries do not much sell green tomatoes.. You might find Farmer Market who sell what to buying green tomatoes. My Uncle have own crop of vegetables and my Mom have her own tomatoes garden.
