Personally I don't care for Fried Green Tomatoes, unless we're talking about the movie Fried Green Tomatoes. Here's a Red Fried Tomatoes recipe I came up.
Ingredients:
- 2 Plum tomatoes cut in half lengthwise
- 6 Tbsp. fresh basil, finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 5 tsp. extra virgin olive oil, plus 2 Tbsp. for frying
- 4 heaping tsp. shredded Mozzarella or Parmesan cheese
Directions:
Mix together the 5 tsp. of olive oil, basil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Spread mixture on cut side of each tomato half.
Heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in small skillet over medium low heat. Place tomatoes, mixture side down, in the skillet and cover. Simmer for 3 minutes, turn over and sprinkle each half with 1 heaping tsp. of the cheese. Cover and simmer 2 more minutes.
Serve immediately but tasty at room temperature, too.
