Fried green tomatoes

Everyone loves a good fried vegetable right? Although it may not be the healthiest way to eat your veggies it is still delicious and sometimes that's all your looking for! Its the peak of gardening season and we have an abundance of tomato plants so I had to take advantage. If you or someone you know has tomatoes in their garden definitely use them!

Ingredients:

Unripe green tomatoes

1 cup of spelt flour

1 cup of almond milk

1 flax egg (1 tsp of flax mill mixed with 1 tsp of water)

salt and pepper

garlic powder

onion powder

Cajun seasoning

Grapeseed oil or frying oil of your choice

Directions:

1. In a large frying pan coat the bottom with oil about half an inch deep and set it on medium high heat

2. In a large mixing bowl add flour, milk, flax egg, salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder, and Cajun seasonings. Mix thoroughly until you have a batter like consistency adjusting milk and flour as needed.

3. Dice tomatoes into slices of your choice and one at a time coat the tomatoes with the batter and set them in frying pan. Oil should be hot before you do this.

4. Fry for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side then set them on a plate covered with paper towel

5. Try not to eat the whole tray:)

I ended up dipping them in ketchup but I'm sure they would be just as delicious with hot sauce, cocktail sauce, or any sauce you prefer! Give them a go and let me know how you like them!
