Directions
Cinnamon Spiced Fried Tomatoes,You’ll love this exotic departure from the usual fried tomatoes! There is an incredible aroma that fills your kitchen the minute the tomato slices hit the pan! An excellent way to use not quite ripe tomatoes. These are great for breakfast, along with eggs, buttered tortillas, and perhaps Pueblo Style Calabacitas. Adapted from Mollie Katzen’s Sunlight Cafe(Breakfast All Day).,4 1/2 stars. Pretty good but didn’t work so well with white rice flour and I did have to use more than called for. used market fresh plum tomatoes, course sea salt plus the rest of the ingredients. Made for breakfast with eggs as suggested in the introduction. Not a make again for us. Made for Veggie Swap 38 ~ September ~,My husband brought home three varieties of heirloom tomatoes the other day from the farmer’s market and used them to prepare this recipe. Be sure the tomatoes you use are the best quality you can find. They need to be firm, too. I sliced the tomatoes generously-about 3/4″-1″ slices. Don’t cook too long or they will quickly turn too soft to hold their shape. Two teaspoons of flour wasn’t enough and I probably used closer to 1/3 cup of unbleached flour. This dish reminds me of a North African version of fried green tomatoes and I may try this recipe next time using green tomatoes. Thank you for posting the recipe. It is a contender for the top spot in Best of 2011. Reviewed for Veg Tag/September.
