           Vegetable oil for frying
 
  There are a few varieties of tomatoes like Green Zebra that remain
  green when ripe, but the green tomatoes for this recipe are unripe red
  tomatoes. They will be pleasantly firm and tart when picked before
  they start to ripen and change color.
  
  To prepare the salsa, combine the tomatoes, shallots, garlic, green
  onion, parsley, salt, pepper and lemon juice to taste. Set aside.
  
  Combine the flour and cornmeal in a small, shallow dish; whisk in the
  egg and milk and season with salt and pepper. Set aside. Put some
  flour in a pie pan or on a plate and put the panko in a third shallow
  dish.
  
  Cut the green tomatoes crosswise into 1/8-inch thick slices, keeping
  the pieces in the order they were sliced. Take 2 slices at a time and
  separate them like opening a book. Season with salt and pepper, and
  then spread a layer of goat cheese on one slice. Top the goat cheese
  with a light dusting of cumin, if desired, a sprinkle of chopped
  nuts, optional bacon and herbs. Top with the other slice of tomato.
  
  Heat about 3/4 inch of vegetable oil in a heavy skillet to about 350
  degrees. The oil will be about the right temperature when bubbles
  immediately form around a wooden chopstick or handle of a wooden
  spoon.
  
  Working with a few sandwiches at a time, season the outside of the
  tomatoes with salt and pepper, then dredge in the flour, shaking off
  any excess. Dip into the cornmeal batter (the batter may need to be
  occasionally stirred) and then into the panko. Gently press the panko
  onto the sandwiches, completely coating them.
  
  Fry for 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden brown, turning at least once.
  Remove to paper towels to drain - if needed, keep warm in a 250-degree
  oven. Repeat for the remaining tomatoes, which can be done in an
  assembly line fashion.
  
  Season with a sprinkling of salt and serve warm, topped with some of
  the salsa.
  
  Discard any leftover batter. Cool any leftover sandwiches to room
  temperature; wrap well and refrigerate. Reheat in a 400-degree oven
  for 12 to 15 minutes, or until hot and crispy.
  
  Serves 4 to 6
