Green Tomatoes in Batter
Description
Perfect for the table and with drinks. The batter I’ll tell you about below, I use only for this dish. It turns out spicy and flavorful, and pairs wonderfully with green tomatoes. Every time I come across such wonderful recipes, I think how easy it is to be a vegetarian—with such a variety of delicious options! Green tomatoes in batter are quite filling, especially if you serve them with a good side, such as a vegetable salad! :) Experiment and try new dishes! :) The appetizer is ready. Serve right away.
