Panko Fried Green Tomatoes and Mushrooms

Panko gives a light crispy coating on the tomatoes. Do not over fry the tomatoes you want them to be completely firm but hot through and nicely browned. Increase recipe to do as many slices as you want I just made it for 2 people. This makes a lovely brunch side dish

I have been eating fried green tomatoes all my life, but never thought of pairing them with mushrooms.Here in the south Panko is not the easiest thing to find. It definitely gave them a different texture than flour and cornmeal. 4 slices is definitely not enough to feed a working man. Excellent side dish. Jim1Reply
