Directions:
- Slice stem-end of tomato, removing stem and making a smooth flat surface.
- Continue slicing, about 1/4 in diameter, or a bit less (you want these thick enough to taste the flavor of the tomato!).
- Mix together salt, pepper, cornmeal and flour till well blended.
- Salt tomatoes (from the salt shaker-isn't in the ingredients list, just salt to taste) and allow to set till the salt dissolves.
- Dip each slice in flour/cornmeal mixture, on both sides, and set aside on dry paper towel till coating begins to look a bit damp.
- Heat shortening over medium high heat, till hot but not smoking.
- Dip again in the mixture, and place in hot shortening, quickly browning on one side, then turning to brown on other-about 1-2 minutes per side.
- Remove from skillet to paper towel covered platter. Serve Hot.
- Allow one tomato per person.
- For Vegetarian/Vegan do not use Lard because it is an animal product. Use a Vegetarian shortening.
