I think this recipe deserves about 12 stars! This was my first experiment with fried green tomatoes, and the result was wonderful. My husband and I loved this dish, and it may be our main course next time we make it. I only used two tomatoes, and I left the amounts of the rest of the ingredients the same. I fried the tomatoes for about two minutes on each side, and I'll probably let them go a little longer next time. ("Next time" will be as soon as I can get my hands on more green tomatoes!)
