Diced Fried Green Tomatoes

I adore fried green tomatoes! I have been looking forward to fried green tomatoes more than anything else from the garden. Typically, green tomatoes are sliced floured and then fried, but mine were so small I decided to dice them. I think I will dice them from now on as it seemed easier and less fussy to me. If you haven't ever had home made fried green tomatoes, make sure you try them this summer for sure!

Dice tomatoes into about one inch cubes. I had about 2 to 2 1/2 cups of diced tomatoes.

Generously salt and pepper the tomatoes, then sprinkle with 2-3 tablespoons of corn starch. Mix well to coat all the tomatoes. You can use flour if you want to. I think the corn starch gives a crisper finish. 

Heat oil in a skillet on high heat. If you are using a *non stick or Teflon coated skillet use medium heat*. I have about 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter here. 

Saute tomatoes turning over often with a spatula. Turn heat down if it begins to smoke. When they are nicely browned, remove from heat. 

  

Yum yum :)
