Worried Fried Green Tomatoes

Title: Worried Fried Green Tomatoes
Yield: 4 Servings
Categories: Vegetables, Tomatoes, Meatless 

Ingredients: 

  2 1/2 lb Green tomatoes, sliced verti
           -cally 1/4 inch thick
      3    Garlic, clove, sliced
    3/4 c  Flour
           Salt
           Pepper
      4 tb Olive oil


  Shake tomato slices in a paper sack with salt, pepper
  and flour. Heat oil over medium-high heat in a black
  iron skillet. Add tomatoes and garlic. Cook without
  stirring for about 5 minutes, then, using a stiff
  spatula, scrape bottom of skillet and turn tomatoes.
  Continue to cook over medium to high heat, scraping
  bottom of skillet occasionally to prevent burning. You
  want the tomatoes which come in direct contact with
  the skillet to get dark. You should expect some
  sticking; just scrape hard. Try to resist adding more
  oil but do so if you must. When most of the tomatoes
  have turned olive green or dark brown, about 20
  minutes, lower heat to low. Continue to cook, worrying
  the tomatoes around with the spatula until they are
  all either brown or olive green.
