Cooking Instructions

SLICE THE TOMATOES crosswise about 1/2 inch thick. Discard or eat the very top and bottom slices. Mix the polenta, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper to taste, and parsley in a shallow soup bowl and dredge the tomato slices evenly in the mixture, pressing the coating to make it stick to the cut surfaces of the tomatoes.

IN A LARGE HEAVY NONSTICK SKILLET, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it is very hot but not smoking. Add as many tomato slices as you can without crowding the pan, and saute for about 3 minutes. Turn the slices to the other side and saute for another 3 minutes, or until golden. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate, sprinkle with salt, and keep warm in a low oven while you finish frying the other tomatoes. Serve warm.
