Directions

  1. Step 1 Sprinkle the flour over a plate. Place polenta into a medium bowl, season and mix well. Place eggs in a small bowl and beat. Lightly coat a green tomato slice first in the flour, dusting off any excess, dip in the egg, then coat in polenta. Repeat with remaining slices.
  2. Step 2 Heat a shallow pool of oil in a large frying pan. Fry the coated tomatoes in batches until golden and crisp on both sides, turning them over with a fish slice. As they are done, drain well on kitchen paper and keep warm in a low oven while you fry remaining batches.
  3. Step 3 To make the salsa, mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl, then season with salt and pepper. Serve the fried green tomatoes hot, with the salsa spooned over.
