Old Fashioned Fried Red Tomatoes '
6 tomatoes -- firm (6 to 8)
1 egg
1 tablespoon cold water
bread crumbs -- finely sifted
salt
pepper
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Wash the tomatoes, remove a thin piece from the stem end, and cut the tomatoes into slices about one-half inch thick. Beat the egg slightly, add water, dip the tomatoes into this, and roll in the bread crumbs, which have been seasoned to taste with salt and pepper. Allow the coated tomatoes to dry out somewhat before frying. Heat fat in a heavy skillet, place the coated tomatoes in the hot fat, brown on one side, then turn carefully, and reduce the temperature so that the tomatoes will have sufficient time to cook before browning. Life from the skillet to a hot platter, garnishwith chopped parsley, and serve at once
