Fried Green Tomatoes

Here's a classic southern recipe.  Ryan found this one to try from About.com by Diana Rattray.  I think it might be a bit of an acquired taste, but the 3 minute cook time is essential to obtain a fried green tomato that is crunchy on the outside with a melt in your mouth interior.

Ingredients:
•4 to 6 green tomatoes
•salt and pepper
•cornmeal
•bacon grease or vegetable oil

Preparation:
Slice the tomatoes into 1/4 - 1/2-inch slices. Salt and pepper them to taste. Dip in meal and fry in hot grease or oil about 3 minutes or until golden on bottom. Gently turn and fry the other side. Serve as a side dish - delicious with breakfast!
