It's the time of year for fried green tomatoes. There are a myriad of good recipes, mostly involving corn meal, flour, egg, milk, and a pinch of salt. Use your favorite recipe, and, instead of deep frying in grease or shortening, just lightly pan fry the tomatoes in a heart healthy oil, like vegetable oil. This will reduce some of the calories and saturated fat. Heat the oil thoroughly before cooking to avoid soggy tomatoes, and don't over salt them. Ultimately, you want to taste the tomatoes, not the salt and grease. The serving size should be moderate.
