Time 21m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 Large Green Tomatoes
1 1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour
1/2 Tsp Sea Salt
1 1/2 Tsp Ground Black Pepper
1/2 Tsp Cayenne Pepper (Optional)
1 Tsp Lawry's Seasoned Salt
Vegetable Oil (For Frying)
1/2 Cup Mayonnaise
2-4 Tbsp Hot Sauce (Tabasco or Frank's work best)
1/2 Tsp Horseradish
1/2 Tsp Ground Black Pepper
1/4 Tsp Cayenne Pepper (Optional)

Steps:

  • In a large shallow bowl combine flour and spices. Whisk or stir to combine and set aside.
  • .Use a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife and cutting board to slice each tomato into 1/4 inch pieces (no larger). Lay the sliced green tomatoes out on a large cookie sheet or plate and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Next dredge each slice in the flour mixture until coated shaking off the excess. Return to the cookie sheet and let sit for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes the tomatoes will begin to soak up some of the flour mixture. Once this happens dredge the tomatoes through the flour mixture a second time shaking off the excess.
  • Add vegetable oil to a large deep skillet and heat over medium heat. You want the oil about an inch deep. Once the oil is shimmering, add your green tomatoes in and fry for 3-5 minutes per side until they are brown and crispy.
  • Once golden brown remove from the oil and place on a paper towel lined plate and continue to fry in batches until all the tomatoes are fried. Serve warm with hot mayo sauce.

3 medium-sized, firm green tomatoes
Salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning (optional)

  • Bread the tomato slices: Heat the oil in a skillet on medium heat. Dip the green tomato slices in the flour-seasoning, then the buttermilk-egg mixture, then the cornmeal-breadcrumb mix.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 quarts vegetable oil, for frying
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for sprinkling
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 cup buttermilk
4 large eggs
2 cups yellow cornmeal
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
4 green tomatoes (about 1 pound), sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup hot vinegar peppers, drained and finely chopped, plus 2 tablespoons hot vinegar pepper juice
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

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.

FRIED GREEN TOMATOES

What could be more southern than an all-over crunchy firm tomato that's been battered into a deep-fried delicacy? Right! Well, according Robert F. Moss, a food historian and writer in South Carolina, "they entered the American culinary scene in the Northeast and Midwest, perhaps with a link to Jewish immigrants, and from...

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 large firm green tomatoes
salt
2 c vegetable or peanut oil for frying
1 c buttermilk
2 c self-rising flour
fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Slice the tomatoes about a 1/4-inch thick. Spread them out on a plate or baking dish and sprinkle with salt. Place the tomato slices in a colander and allow time for salt to pull the liquids out of the tomatoes, about 30 minutes.
  • 2. Heat the oil over a medium-high heat in a large skillet.
  • 3. Dip sliced tomatoes in buttermilk, and then dredge them in flour seasoned with pepper. Turn over in flour several times, pressing gently to get a nice thick batter. Fry until golden brown. NOTE: Don't crowd the tomatoes, fry a few at a time.

Tips:

  • Choose firm, unripe green tomatoes for frying. This will help them hold their shape and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Slice the tomatoes evenly so that they cook evenly.
  • Use a seasoned flour mixture to coat the tomatoes. This will help them brown and crispy.
  • Fry the tomatoes in hot oil until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Drain the tomatoes on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  • Serve the tomatoes hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Fried green tomatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish. They are perfect for summer cookouts and picnics. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make this classic Southern dish at home.
