In a departure from the standard slices, this simple recipe serves up chopped green tomatoes in a fragrant, lightly fried mixture of bread crumbs, fennel seeds, and mustard powder.

Ingredients

2 cups chopped green tomatoes, or more to taste

1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon fennel seeds
1 tablespoon mustard powder
5 tablespoons mild oil, such as canola
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

2 Combine tomatoes and egg in a medium bowl; stir until tomatoes are thoroughly coated with egg.
3 Mix together bread crumbs, garlic powder, fennel seeds, mustard powder, and salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle bread crumb mixture onto tomatoes and stir to coat. Pour tomatoes into the hot oil and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 15 minutes.
