Ingredients

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

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place egg whites in a shallow bowl. In a separate shallow bowl, mix together cornmeal, herbs, salt and pepper.

Step 2

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Dip tomatillo slices in egg whites, then dredge in cornmeal mixture turning to coat both sides.

Step 3

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.
