Fried Green Tomato Bruschetta

This bruschetta is down-home country meets Italy, so you can present it many ways. For a down-home country feel as well as an Italian feel, try arranging the bruschetta on a red-and-white gingham–covered platter. You might also serve on a clean washboard or in clean black cast-iron skillet.

Serves 4

Ingredients

4 medium green tomatoes, sliced 1⁄2-inch thick

Flour for dredging

2 eggs, beaten

1 cup plain bread crumbs

Oil for frying (preferably olive oil)

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1⁄4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves (plus a few whole leaves for garnish)

12 green olives with pimiento, halved lengthwise

1⁄4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1 loaf crusty country bread, sliced 1-inch thick

Dredge tomato slices in flour. Dip in egg and then in breadcrumbs, shaking off excess after each dip. Fry at low heat (about 325°F) until golden and mostly tender (a little underdone is good).
