- 2 Tbsp flour
- 2 Tbsp cornmeal

- Olive or vegetable oil, for frying (mister recommended)
Instructions
- Heat your grill to high.
- To make the tomatoes, heat a non stick pan sprayed with oil over medium high heat.
- Add flour, cornmeal, a pinch of salt and pepper to a ziptop bag and shake to mix well.
- Add tomato slices and shake to coat.
- Fry tomato slices in batches until golden brown on each side. (Add additional oil between batches.)
- Remove to a paper towel-lined plate until ready to assemble burgers.
- Each side of the hamburger patties should get a dash of Worcestershire and a pinch of salt and pepper.
