Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1 lb Green tomatoes
- sliced 1/2-in thick
Cornmeal or flour
Light olive oil; for the pan
-=OR=- Butter
6 lg Eggs
3 tb Chopped scallions
2 tb Fresh basil or lovage leaves
- torn or finely sliced
- (or more if desired)
Salt freshly ground pepper
Sprigs of basil or lovage
- (for garnish)

DREDGE THE TOMATOES in the cornmeal or flour. Heat enough oil in a
10-inch non-stick pan to cover the surface. Fry the tomatoes briefly
on each side until they are lightly colored. Don't let them get soft.
While the tomatoes are frying, lightly beat the eggs with the
scallions and basil or lovage. Season with salt and pepper. Pour them
over the tomatoes. Let the eggs sit for about a minute, then give the
pan a shake to loosen the bottom. Cook over medium-low heat until the
eggs are nicely colored on the bottom, then slide the omelet onto a
large plate. Place the pan over the plate, invert it and return to
the heat to cook the other side. When done, turn the omelet out onto
a serving plate and serve sliced in wedges and garnished with fresh
sprigs of the herb you have used.
