Amy, instead of cornmeal, try PANKO bread crumbs (found in the Asian section of your market.) I LOVE Japanese bread crumbs, and I’ll bet you will like the fried green tomatoes, sauteed with PANKO. (BTW, PANKO is all that Paula Deen will ever use, when bread crumbs are called for.)
Thanks for that info, Yorkie. I have never used or heard of PANKO bread crumbs. Do you use them in meat loaf or meat balls?
I will give them a try.
