This was supposed to be a side to the Basil Chicken (recipe which didn't originally call for garlic or canned whole tomatoes, but chopped olives) instead of the pasta, but as you know, I am unable to strictly follow a recipe. This was a fun side dish for a steak or pork chops or whatever. Since it's breaded, I'm sure kids might eat it, too (but what do I know?)
Ingredients:
2 tomatoes sliced into 4-5 slices each
salt/fresh ground pepper
8-10 leaves fresh basil
1 egg, beaten
some EVOO
some flour for sprinkling
bread crumbs for breading (sorry about the preciseness of the quantities)
Directions:
1. Remove the "goo" from the tomato slices. Season with salt and pepper, then lay 1 basil leaf on each slice.
2. Sprinkle some flour on each side of each slice.
3. Dip each slice in egg, then in bread crumbs.
4. Fry the slices approximately 2 minutes on each side in some EVOO
There. That's it. Pretty tasty!
