If you are gardening this summer, you probably have tomatoes overflowing in your garden! Besides making delicious sauces, salads and pizzas, you can also eat these babies green. They are perfect for pan frying because the texture of the green tomatoes is nice and firm!
The batter here is simply garbanzo flour and water, seasoned with salt and pepper. I like chickpea/garbanzo flour because it gets crispy and has a delicious flavor when pan fried. I used olive oil to pan fry it here, but any vegetable oil will do.
