  • Using a wide bottomed pan, tip enough vegetable oil to come up the sides about two inches. Place over a medium/high heat until a breadcrumb sizzles when dropped into the oil.
  • Take the slices of green tomatoes and dip them first into the flour to coat all sides, shake off the excess then dip into the egg. Finally dip into the panko breadcrumbs ensuring they are fully coated. Do this to all the slices placing them onto a plate ready to fry.
  • Once the oil is hot, gently place the tomatoes into the oil and cook until golden before turning to cook on the other side. I do this in two batches.
  • Remove from the oil and set on kitchen paper to drain off any excess oil. Season with sea salt.
  • Take a serving platter and place the arugula onto it. Sprinkle the olives throughout and place some of the artichokes around the edges. Sprinkle the cubed feta.
  • Place the fried tomatoes onto the arugula and drizzle with the balsamic glaze.
