MOM'S FRIED RED TOMATOES
My mom's simple recipe. Easy, great and tasty! Please remember the nutritional facts are not correct, because you are not eating all the coating ingredients. Also, these amounts are to my families tastes, adjust to your liking. REMEMBER: TO ADD MORE BUTTER AND OLIVE OIL TO THE PAN AS NEEDED. THERE SHOULD ALWAYS BE A LAYER OF LIQUID TO FRY IN.

Steps:
- Cut tomatoes into thick slices. Put aside.
- Mix flour, salt and pepper in shallow dish for coating.
- Heat butter and olive oil in pan, until it's hot enough to fry inches.
- Pre-heat oven to warm setting. (Lowest setting).
- Coat tomato slices in flour mixture.
- Place in pan until gloden brown.
- Place on baking sheet and place in warm oven until ready to serve. (I think they taste better if put in the oven for a little bit because it crisps them up a bit.).

EVELYN'S FRIED RED TOMATOES
An excellent way to cook tomatoes when they are in season before freezing them for a multitude of uses: in soups, casseroles and pasta dishes, as a sauce over meatballs and meatloaf, or on toast for a simple, healthy breakfast, brunch or snack. Evelyn, my mother, has been cooking tomatoes this way for 60 years - she's 82 - and didn't even consider this to be a recipe until I insisted on getting the steps involved from her. She said "everyone knows how to do this". Well, maybe everyone else does, but I didn't. And when I checked the Zaar files for a similar recipe, I failed to find one. So I concluded that either she's right - which means I'm really ignorant about basic cooking strategies, which is certainly a possibility - or that this IS indeed a recipe: her recipe. Evelyn is my mother's middle name, one she regrets not having decided to start using decades ago instead of the first name her parents gave her, so this posting is not only a celebration of HER recipe but the launch of her new name. Proportions are approximate and can, of course, be varied to taste. I have specified that the recipe provides 6 servings since I believe that 1 kilo (approximately 2 pounds) of tomatoes cooked in this way would provide an ample quantity of tomatoes for 6 servings, for example, as a sauce over meatloaf. Please correct this if you find this guesstimate to be wildly wrong when you are reviewing the recipe. I intend to post some more of Evelyn's recipes when I get them out of her!

Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: Look for tomatoes that are firm, smooth, and have a deep red color. Avoid tomatoes that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Use a variety of herbs: The herbs in this recipe add a lot of flavor, so don't be afraid to experiment. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, and rosemary.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When frying the tomatoes, make sure to leave enough space between them so that they can cook evenly.
- Cook the tomatoes until they are golden brown: This will give them a nice crispy coating.
- Serve the tomatoes immediately: Fried tomatoes are best when served hot, so make sure to eat them as soon as they are cooked.
