FRIED GREEN TOMATOES

INGREDIENTS
Fried Green Tomatoes:

1 cup all-purpose flour (divided)
1 large egg
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup cornmeal
1 t salt (plus more for sprinkling)
1/2 t ground black pepper
6 medium green tomatoes
Vegetable oil (for frying)
Spicy Mayonnaise:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 teaspoons mustard
1 teaspoon Creole or Cajun seasoning
Pinch crumbled dried thyme leaves
Dash coarsely ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice


INSTRUCTIONS
Put 1/3 cup of flour into a shallow bowl. In another bowl, beat the egg with the milk until smooth. Put the remaining 2/3 cup of flour, cornmeal, salt, and freshly ground black pepper into another shallow bowl. Mix to blend thoroughly.
Pour about 1/2 inch of oil in a large cast-iron skillet. Place over medium heat.
Meanwhile, cut the tomatoes into 1/2-inch slices. Coat a tomato slice with the plain flour and then dip into the egg mixture. Coat with the flour-cornmeal mixture and then place it on a rack while you repeat with the remaining slices.
When the oil is up to temperature, carefully put several tomato slices in the hot oil. Don't crowd the tomatoes.Cook until golden brown on both sides, about 4 to 5 minutes total time. With a spatula, transfer the tomatoes to paper towels to dry, sprinkle with salt.
For the spicy mayonnaise, combine ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Serve together and enjoy! Tip: try making a BLT with fried green tomatoes!

6 cups chicken or vegetable stock
2.5 cups of Romano beans 
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (upick)
Salt and black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS
1 Heat oil in a 4 to 5-quart thick-bottomed pot on medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrot, and celery. Cook until lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook a minute more.
2 Add the bay leaf, thyme, fennel seeds. Add the potato, beans, cabbage, zucchini, and tomatoes. Add the stock.
