PAM'S FRIED GREEN TOMATO PARMESAN
We had a great crop of tomatoes this year so I was looking for things to do with green tomatoes. As I was looking at my eggplants growing and thinking of Eggplant Parmesan I thought why not Green Tomato Parmesan! I wrote the recipe here using commercial jarred marinara, but I actually use fresh tomatoes to make my marinara. Gotta...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350.
- 2. Slice tomatoes into 1/2 inch slices.
- 3. Spread out on paper towels and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 5 minutes then blot them dry.
- 4. Whisk egg together with the cream or milk.
- 5. Mix the flour and corn meal together. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- 6. Dip tomato slices in egg then flour mix. Let the egg run off as much as it will, you don't want a thick coating. Place them on a baking rack as you go. Do them all before you start frying and fry the first ones you did first.
- 7. Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a skillet. Fry the tomatoes in batches until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
- 8. Once all the tomatoes are browned pour off the oil. Add the garlic to the pan and saute quickly. Add the marinara and spices and heat through.
- 9. You want two layers of tomatoes, so pick a baking pan that will work with the amount of tomatoes you have. Oil the pan and add a spoonful of sauce.
- 10. Layer a single layer of tomatoes, then marinara, then half of the cheeses. Repeat. You should have marinara left over.
- 11. Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes until cheese is melted.
- 12. While that's baking cook your pasta to serve with it. When ready to serve, toss the pasta with the left over marinara and serve along side the green tomato parmesan.
- 13. NOTE: I just eyeball how many tomatoes I want to use based on how many I want to serve. I allow one tomato per person unless they are small.
