Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm tomatoes for frying. This will help them hold their shape and prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Slice the tomatoes about 1/2-inch thick. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
- Season the tomatoes with salt and pepper before frying. This will help to enhance their flavor.
- Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet for frying the tomatoes. This will help to create a crispy crust on the outside of the tomatoes while keeping the inside juicy.
- Heat the oil in the skillet over medium heat. This will help to prevent the tomatoes from sticking to the pan.
- Fry the tomatoes in batches, working in a single layer. This will help to prevent overcrowding the pan and ensure that the tomatoes cook evenly.
- Cook the tomatoes for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the fried tomatoes immediately, garnished with fresh herbs such as basil, thyme, or oregano.
