PERFECT FRIED GREEN TOMATOES
I have been making fried green tomatoes for over 35 years, taught by my grandmother who is from down south. Over the years I have tried and made fried green tomato recipes and this is the one that is perfect. Cajun ranch sauce goes perfect with this crispy on the outside but smooth and creamy on the inside tomato.

Steps:
- Season tomato slices with salt and pepper.
- Combine flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a shallow bowl. Pour buttermilk in a second shallow bowl. Mix cornmeal, parsley, paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, and cayenne pepper in a third shallow bowl.
- Dredge each tomato slice in the flour mixture to coat, dip into the buttermilk, and finish by pressing each side of the tomato into the cornmeal mixture to coat. Lay coated tomato slices onto a baking sheet; rest to let tomatoes absorb flavor of coating, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Gently drop tomato slices into the hot oil and cook until golden brown and floating, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on a plate lined with paper towel.

Tips:
- Choose firm, ripe green tomatoes for frying. Overripe tomatoes will be too soft and will not hold their shape when fried.
- Slice the tomatoes evenly so that they cook evenly.
- Coat the tomatoes in a mixture of flour, cornmeal, salt, and pepper before frying. This will help to create a crispy coating.
- Fry the tomatoes in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the tomatoes will steam instead of fry.
- Serve the fried green tomatoes with a creamy horseradish sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Fried green tomatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. They are perfect for summer, when fresh green tomatoes are in season. With a crispy coating and a creamy horseradish sauce, these tomatoes are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
