Instructions

  1. Wash the green tomatoes and cut them into slices about 1 cm (½ inch) thick.
  2. Mix the flour with the salt, pepper and paprika in a deep plate.
  3. Beat the egg with the milk in another plate.
  4. Dip each slice first in the flour, then in the egg, then back in the flour.
  5. Heat the oil to 170 °C (340 °F) in a pan and fry the slices for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden.
  6. Drain on paper towels and serve right away, salted as they come out of the oil.
