Servings: persons

6-7 medium sized firm, green tomatoes
1 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dried basil
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk or buttermilk
1 lemon
Cooking oil

1
Slice tomatoes into 1/2 inch slices. I do not recommend using end pieces as they don't hold the cornmeal mixture very well, so be sure to make each slice flat on both sides.
2
In a small bowl, mix the eggs, milk and lemon juice as well as some of the zest.
3
Combine all the dry seasoning, flour and cornmeal into a container with a top (or one that is deep enough so you can shake the contents without making a mess).
4
Heat a skillet or frying pan in medium high heat. Add enough oil to grease the pan with a (not too) generous layer. Begin dipping slices of tomato one at a time into the egg mixture. Then drop them into the cornmeal mixture. Cover the container and shake for a few seconds. Your tomato should be thoroughly coated in cornmeal.
5
Place coated slices in the hot pan and fry until golden brown on each side. This could about 5 minutes per side depending on the heat your stove produces.
6
When cooked to your satisfaction, place the slices on paper towels in order to soak up some of the grease.
7
Dip in hot sauce and devour while hot.
