Recipe: Fried Green Tomatoes (low histamine, paleo, vegetarian)

One love I have is fried green tomatoes.  Thanks to The Low Histamine Chef's blog, I learned green tomatoes aren't high histamine like their red counterparts.  Even though I am not 100% Paleo at this point, I still use it to guide most recipes I make.  So I decided to try making fried green tomatoes the same way I've fried fish.

Fried Green Tomatoes

Green Tomatoes

Coconut Oil

Coconut Flour

1 pastured egg

salt and pepper to taste

Fresh Basil (optional)

Heat coconut oil in a pan on medium to medium high heat.  When a drop of water sizzles slightly it's ready for frying the tomatoes.  Slice the tomatoes about 1/8th inch thick.  Dredge in egg, then coconut flour, then fry on one side.  When they are golden brown on that side, flip and cook on the remaining side.  Don't overcook or they will get mushy. 

Salt and pepper to taste and garnish with fresh chopped basil on top.
