Categories     Vegetable

Time 36m

Yield 20-25 tomato slices, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 lbs green tomatoes, cored and sliced 1/4-inch thick
2/3 cup cornmeal
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2/3 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
2 cups peanut oil or 2 cups vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Place tomatoes on paper towel-lined rimmed baking sheet. Cover with more paper towels, let sit for 20 minutes, and pat dry. Meanwhile, process 1/3 cup cornmeal in blender until very finely ground, about 1 minute. Combine processed cornmeal, remaining 1/3 cup cornmeal, flour, salt, pepper, and cayenne in shallow dish. Whisk buttermilk and egg together in second shallow dish.
  • Working one at a time, dip tomato slices in buttermilk mixture, then dredge in cornmeal mixture, pressing firmly to adhere; transfer to clean baking sheet.

  • **TIP: To keep the tomatoes from weeping as they fry (which will loosen the coating), let them sit between paper towels for 20 minutes and then press dry.

OLD-FASHIONED TOMATO GRAVY



Old-Fashioned Tomato Gravy image

My mother-in-law gave me this tomato gravy recipe. It's her very favorite breakfast. We-my husband, our two sons and I-also enjoy it for a light supper. Especially on a cold day, it's great with warm peach cobbler or bread pudding. -Laurie Fisher, Greeley, Colorado

Time 30m

Yield 8 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 pound bacon strips, diced

Pinch pepper
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
3 cups tomato juice

Tips:

  • Select ripe green tomatoes: Choose firm, blemish-free tomatoes that are still green in color. Avoid tomatoes that are too soft or have bruises or cracks.
  • Slice tomatoes evenly: Cut the tomatoes into 1/2-inch thick slices. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Dredge tomatoes in flour: Before frying, coat the tomato slices in flour. This will help them to brown and crisp up.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: A well-seasoned cast iron skillet will help to create a crispy crust on the tomatoes. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a nonstick skillet.
  • Fry tomatoes in batches: Don't overcrowd the skillet with tomatoes. Fry them in batches so that they have room to cook evenly.
  • Don't overcook tomatoes: Cook the tomatoes until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Make the cream gravy while the tomatoes are frying: This will help to save time. Use the same skillet that you used to fry the tomatoes to make the gravy. This will help to add flavor to the gravy.
  • Serve tomatoes and gravy immediately: Country ham fried green tomatoes with cream gravy are best served immediately. They can be served as a main course or a side dish.

Conclusion:

Country ham fried green tomatoes with cream gravy is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The tomatoes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the cream gravy is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
