In a small fry pan brown onion and red pepper in some oil or butter until soft. Set aside.

Heat oil on high.

Set out 3 bowls. One with the flour, another with the milk and the third with a combo of the corn meal, bread crumbs, sugar, cayenne and black pepper. Take each slice if tomato and dip in flour on both sides, then milk on both sides, then dredge in corn meal mix until tomatoes are thoroughly coated. Cook in hot oil for 2 minutes on each side or until a dark brown. Cool on a plate lined with paper towel.
