  • “This simple side dish is absolutely luscious, with the bonus that it’s easy to prepare. Perfect, in particular, for garlic lovers! Take the recipe’s advice about using firm tomatoes to heart; the slices will fall apart if the tomatoes are soft.”

  • “Easy and delicious. I didn’t have any hot peppers, so I used cayenne instead, which gave the tomatoes a real nice bite. This is a great tasting side dish, which I’ll be making often. Thanks Mirj “

  • “I love green tomatoes especially without all that cornmeal etc – this recipe is perfect – you actually taste the tomato. The only thing I did different was not to flip the slices after sprinkling the garlic,pepper,parsly on top – it looked too pretty.Thanks Mirjam for a now favoriye Fried Green Tomato recipe”
