Fried Green Tomatoes from the Garden

I recently spoke with a neighbor who happens to be a master gardener. She has about 10 tomato plants and offered me a green tomato along with a great recipe. So, today was dedicated to 6 new recipes...5 for hummus and one for fried green tomatoes.

The tomato was very firm and bright green. I discarded the top and bottom, then cut 4 slices, each a quarter inch thick. Here's the ingredients for both the hummus and tomatoes. Check out Martha Stewart's website for the tomato recipe...the secret ingredient is cornmeal.





The hummus recipes were from all over the internet. We made:
feta-spinach hummus
lemon-garlic hummus
three-pepper hummus (black, jalapeno, cyenne)
onion-parsley hummus
olive-garlic hummus

Our favorite (by far) was the three pepper hummus!
