Time 10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 egg white, lightly beaten
⅓ cup cornmeal
½ teaspoon herbes de Provence
½ teaspoon garlic salt
ground black pepper to taste
8 tomatillos, husked and sliced 1/4 inch thick
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Place egg whites in a shallow bowl. In a separate shallow bowl, mix together cornmeal, herbs, salt and pepper.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Dip tomatillo slices in egg whites, then dredge in cornmeal mixture turning to coat both sides.
  • Fry tomatillo slices 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Be careful not to over cook; tomatillos should be tender, but not totally softened. Serve immediately.
