Fried Green Tomatoes

1. 1

   Add the tomato slices to the buttermilk in a shallow bowl and set aside to marinate for about 10 to 15 minutes.

2. 2

   Combine the cornmeal, garlic salt, salt, and pepper in another shallow bowl.

3. 3

   Remove the tomato slices from the buttermilk and coat in the cornmeal mixture.

4. 4

   Set aside.

5. 5

   Heat enough vegetable oil in a medium skillet to cover the bottom by a half inch.

6. 6

   (The oil is hot enough when a sprinkle of water sizzles in the pan.)

7. 7

   Add the tomato slices to the pan (you will have to cook them in batches to avoid crowding the pan).

8. 8

   Baste the tomato slices with the hot oil using a large spoon, cooking the slices for 5 to 7 minutes on each side (be careful not to splash the oil when flipping the tomato slices).

9. 9

   Remove tomato slices to a paper towel-lined plate and keep them warm while cooking the rest of the tomato slices.

10. 10

    Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with Tabasco.
