This came to me in a book called Romancing the Stove-Celebrated Recipes and Delicious Fun for Every Kitchen Goddess, a very lovely gift from a friend. I have not yet prepared it (placing it here for safe-keeping until I can get my hands on some really fine organic tomatoes), but I cannot wait to! Ingredients:
1 lb linguine |
1 cup flour |
1/4 cup cornmeal |
2 teaspoons dried basil |
1 teaspoon dill |
1 teaspoon curry powder |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
salt |
1 tablespoon butter |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
2 cloves garlic, minced |
1 1/4 cups milk |
1/4 cup wine (your favorite, red or white) |
3 big fat firm tomatoes (any color, sliced to 1/4 inch) |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta.
2. While pasta is cooking- Combine next 7 ingredients in a plastic container with a lid- cover and shake to mix well.
3. Melt butter and oil in a skillet over med-high.
4. Add garlic.
5. Put 2 tomato slices at a time into the flour mixture and shake back and forth to coat well.
6. Place in skillet and fry for 4-5 minutes.
7. Flip and fry for a few more minutes.
8. If the skillet dries, pour some milk or wine as you flip the maters.
9. Remove to a serving plate (keep them warm-you can keep them in a warm oven).
10. Once all tomatoes are fried, reduce heat to med low and pour remaining milk and wine into the hot skillet, whisking.
11. When heated well, add 1/4 cup of remaining flour mixture stirring constantly (lumps are unattractive).
12. Add more flour mixture as needed to achieve a creamy flowing gravy.
13. Remove from heat and pour into serving implement.
14. Drain pasta, toss with olive oil, and divide among 4 plates.
15. Place several of the tomatoes on top of each serving, and pour sauce over the top.
