Fried Green Tomatoes

This recipe for fried green tomatoes turns the normally light and bright tomato into a decadent crispy treat.  It's important to use firm tomatoes so they keep their shape while frying.  Infuse the batter with whatever flavors you'd like: go spicy with a pinch of cayenne, smoky with a hit of chipotle, or take a trip to the South with Cajun seasoning, like in this recipe.
