A coating of matzo meal, which is made from unleavened flour and water, gives this classic dish extra crunch. Look for matzo in the kosher section. Ingredients:
1/2 cup matzo meal |
1 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper |
1/8 teaspoon sugar |
4 to 5 large green tomatoes (about 2 lb.), cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices |
2 large eggs, lightly beaten |
vegetable oil |
kosher salt (optional) |
Directions:
1. Combine first 4 ingredients in a shallow dish.
2. Dip tomatoes into eggs, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge in matzo mixture, pressing it into the surfaces. Place on a wax paper-lined baking sheet.
3. Pour oil to a depth of 1/2 inch into a large, deep cast-iron or heavy skillet; heat over medium heat to 360°. Fry tomatoes, in batches, 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until golden. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with additional salt, if desired. Serve immediately.
