FRIED GREEN TOMATO PIE
The other day I was working in my garden and I starting picking green tomatoes so that I could fry them. When I was finished, I realized I had a ton of green cherry tomatoes in addition to some big green tomatoes so I decided I was going to have to make fried green tomatoes casserole-style instead of the traditional fried slices....

Steps:
- For the fried green tomatoes: Pour the vegetable oil into a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot and attach a deep-frying thermometer. Heat the oil over medium heat to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and top with a cooling rack.
- Set up 3 low-sided dishes to make a breading station: To the first dish, add the flour, salt and black pepper and stir to combine. In the second dish, beat the buttermilk with the eggs. In the third dish, stir together the cornmeal and panko.
- Using one hand, dredge both sides of the tomato slices in the seasoned flour, shaking each piece to remove any excess. Next, using the other hand, dip the tomato slices into the egg mixture, allowing it to drip before moving onto the third dish. Using your first hand, coat the tomato slices in the breadcrumb mixture evenly on both sides.
- Working in batches, carefully place the breaded tomatoes into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer to the cooling rack and sprinkle each slice generously with more salt.
- For the dipping sauce: Put the mayonnaise in a bowl, add the hot peppers and pepper juice, paprika, sugar and salt and stir to combine. Serve the fried tomatoes immediately with the dipping sauce on the side.

You can also fry up red tomatoes with this recipe but make sure they are not over ripe or they will be mushy. Serve these tomatoes outside with a glass of iced tea one summer night and enjoy the sunset with someone you love.

GREEN TOMATO SKILLET PIE
A serving of fried green tomatoes is a classic dish in the South, as much at home on a vegetable plate as skillet corn, greens, and classic macaroni and cheese. Green tomatoes aren't just for frying; you can enjoy also them in a sweet and juicy pie. Green tomato pies have been called the "apple pies of summer" because, when baked with warm spices such as cinnamon and cloves, unripe green tomatoes take on fruity notes similar to Granny Smith apples or rhubarb. Top with a dollop of sweetened whipped cream or your favorite ice cream. When you get them home from the market, store green tomatoes in the refrigerator to keep them from ripening. As delicious as the filling is, the bacon dripping-flavored crust is also an integral part in making this a fantastic recipe. The dough can be made up to 3 days in advance and refrigerated, or 2 months ahead and frozen.

Steps:
- Prepare the Crust: Place flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor; pulse to combine, about 3 times. Add butter and drippings; pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, about 10 times. Gradually add 1⁄2 cup cold water, pulsing until mixture forms a dough, about 5 times. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide dough in half; shape into 2 disks. Cover disks tightly in plastic wrap. Chill until firm, up to 1 day.
- Prepare the Filling: Preheat oven to 350°F. Stir together granulated sugar, raisins, flour, cinnamon, zest, cloves, and salt in a large bowl. Add tomatoes and vinegar. Toss to coat; set aside.
- Unwrap 1 dough disk. Place on a lightly floured surface; sprinkle dough with flour. Roll into a 14-inch circle. Fit into a 10-inch cast-iron skillet. Unwrap remaining disk. Roll into a 12-inch circle; cut into 1-inch-wide strips.
- Pour tomato mixture into dough in skillet; dot with butter. Arrange strips in a lattice design over Filling. Trim and discard excess dough; crimp edges of Crust. Freeze, uncovered, 10 minutes.

Steps:
- For the tomatoes: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
- In a large flat bowl or pie plate, whisk together the flour, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and 1/2 teaspoon of the Cajun seasoning. Put the breadcrumbs into a second pie plate and season with the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning. Pour the buttermilk into a third pie plate. Pat the tomato slices dry with a paper towel. Dredge them first in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, then in the buttermilk, and then finally in the panko, patting to coat completely. Place onto the lined sheet pans, spaced about 1 inch apart. Spray the tops lightly with nonstick spray.
- Bake for about 15 minutes, then flip the tomatoes, spray the tops lightly with nonstick spray, rotate the pans and bake until golden brown, an additional 15 minutes.
- For the Cajun-spiced aioli: Meanwhile, sprinkle the minced garlic with salt and use the back of a knife to press it into a paste. Add the garlic and egg yolk to a stainless steel bowl along with the lemon juice and Dijon mustard; whisk to combine. Combine the oils in a container with a spout that will allow for easy controlled pouring. While whisking constantly, slowly add the oil in a slow steady stream (see Cook's Note). Stir in the Cajun seasoning and add salt to taste.
- Serve the tomatoes on a platter with a bowl of the Cajun-spiced aioli.
Tips:
- Choose firm, ripe green tomatoes for the best flavor and texture.
- Slice the tomatoes evenly so that they cook evenly.
- Dredge the tomatoes in seasoned flour before frying to help them brown and crispy.
- Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the tomatoes in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Cook the tomatoes over medium heat until they are golden brown and tender.
- Drain the tomatoes on paper towels to remove excess grease.
- Layer the tomatoes, cheese, and bread cubes in a greased baking dish.
- Pour the egg mixture over the top and bake until the pie is golden brown and bubbly.
- Let the pie cool for a few minutes before serving.
Conclusion:
Fried green tomato pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The combination of crispy tomatoes, melted cheese, and savory bread cubes is sure to please everyone at the table. This pie can be served as a main course or as a side dish, and it is also a great way to use up leftover green tomatoes.
