    CAJUN FRIED GREEN TOMATOES


    Source of Recipe


    "Nana" to Bubbe & Alex

    1 1/2 lb. med. to lg. very green tomatoes (about 3)
    1 1/4 tsp. black pepper
    1 tsp. salt
    1/2-3/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
    1/2 tsp. garlic powder
    1 c. all-purpose flour
    1/2 tsp. baking powder
    Vegetable oil for frying
    Slice tomatoes 1/4 inch thick. Place slices on a flat surface in a
    single layer. Combine black pepper, salt, cayenne pepper and garlic
    powder thoroughly; sprinkle evenly on both sides of each tomato
    slice, pressing seasoning in with hands and using it all. Let tomato
    slices sit at least 15 minutes. Combine flour and baking powder.

    In a large skillet, heat oil 1/2 inch deep over medium heat until
    hot. Just before frying, dredge each tomato slice thoroughly in the
    flour. Shake off excess and fry slices in a single layer in the hot
    oil until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes total. Drain on
    paper towels. Serve immediately.
