Inspired by: the fried green tomato
I should preface this with the fact that I've never actually tried, or even seen (in person) an actual fried green tomato.
Something I whipped up really quickly when I went home for lunch today. As always, the super supportive, non-vegan hubby "oooh'd" and "aaah'd" at my plate when I brought it out the the patio where he sat waiting.
A recent post over at Fat Free Vegan got me thinking about a raw version of the fried green tomato. This is probably the easiest and most taste-satisfying snack, and I would think and hope that just about anyone who's a fan of the tomato would be willing to try it - raw or not.
I'd like to make a more fancy, slightly more complicated version of this - but for now this works as a perfect, quick and easy meal for one.
Flax&Sunny Parm Coated Tomato
One Tomato, sliced into half in think rounds
Gently push/wipe the seeds away from the tomato
Use either a paper towel, or clean cloth and gently pat the tomato slice so as to remove moisture - do press or squeeze it though - you want a good, firm, stable tomato slice, and a little bit of moisture is okay - just not a sopping wet tomato.
In a small bowl combine:
3 tbsp Sunflower Parm
3 tbsp Golden flaxseed meal
S&P
Mix well.
Set an individual slice of tomato on top of dry mixture - shake the bowl around so the dry ingredients coat the sides of the tomato.
Use a fork to turn the tomato over and coat the other side.
Top with dried or fresh Basil.
Plate with avocado, and eat immediately!
Yum!

do if the avocado isn't ripe, and i want it to be - stick it in a brown paper bag along with an apple. close the bag and put it in a high place (where the room temp might be a little warmer), like on top of your fridge. in one day the avo should be perfect.
