作り方

手順

1. 1

   Place bacon slices in a large skillet over medium heat and cook until crisp, about 8-10 minutes.

   約10 分

2. 2

   Remove the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving the rendered drippings in the skillet. Once cool enough to handle, crumble the bacon.

   調理のヒント： You should have about 3-4 tablespoons of drippings. If you have much more, pour some off.

3. 3

   In a shallow dish, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt for the coating, and black pepper.

   調理のヒント： Using a pie plate or similar shallow dish makes dredging the tomato slices easier.

4. 4

   Dredge each tomato slice in the cornmeal mixture, pressing gently to ensure it is evenly coated on both sides.

   Heat the bacon drippings in the skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the coated tomato slices in the skillet in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.

   調理のヒント： You may need to fry the tomatoes in two batches depending on the size of your skillet.

6. 6

   Fry the tomatoes for 2-3 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and just tender.

9. 9

   Whisk about one to two tablespoons of the reserved coating mixture into the pan to thicken the gravy, then stir in the salt for the gravy.

   約1 分

   調理のヒント： Add the coating mixture gradually to avoid lumps and achieve your desired thickness.

    Simmer gently, whisking constantly, for 2-3 minutes until the gravy has thickened.
