I haven't had fried green tomatoes in eons. I've had a couple of green tomatoes in my fridge for a week and finally decided I was going to use them today.

Panko/parmesan crusted pork cube steak with unfried green tomatoes
I used 1/4 cup panko crumbs and 1/4 cup shredded parmesan to lightly coat pork cube steaks then fried them in a light amount of olive oil and drained.
Unfried Green Tomatoes
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 or 3 green tomatoes sliced about 1/4 inch thick
1/3 cup non-fat milk
cooking spray
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Combine dry ingredients in a shallow dish. Dip tomato slices in milk, dredge through flour mixture. Place on a baking sheet or wire rack in the oven, lightly coated with cooking spray. Bake 25 minutes turning after 15.
* Mine didn't brown the way I wanted so I put them under the broiler for a bit.

Probably one of my highest carb days so far with the bagel thin and the coating for the tomatoes and pork.
