Fry up some bacon and serve with crispy fried green tomatoes for a tasty, healthy snack
Don’t wait for your tomatoes to ripen, fry up the green ones to crispy perfection
After a busy and bustling day at the Kitsilano Farmers Market a couple weeks ago, it appeared I had gotten to the tomato stand too late. There was nothing left but a couple of handfuls of multi-coloured cherry tomatoes. Or so I thought.
“Hey Jenn, would you like these?” The farmer held up two luscious, bright green, under-ripe tomatoes. Jackpot!
Once home, dinner was on the go in a flurry. The secret to eating in 10 minutes is organization, timing and diplomatically asking my boyfriend to get out of the way.
Bacon hit the cast-iron pan with a steamy, salty sizzle. A puff of cornmeal filled the air as I dumped it into a bowl. Eggs were cracked and green tomatoes, in their glorious firmness, were sliced clean. As the bacon snapped and popped, another pan received a generous glug of oil. Each tomato slice was dredged before hitting the hot pan. After a couple of minutes a golden, crispy-crust formed and all were flipped with care.
Bacon was removed from the cast-iron pan. In a small bowl, the dressing was whisked together. Radishes were sliced thin for a colourful crunch. Plates were laid out and stacking began. Boyfriend was invited back into the kitchen and a delightful post-market snack was enjoyed. Together.
