PERFECT FRIED GREEN TOMATOES



Perfect Fried Green Tomatoes image

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.

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Tomatoes     Fried Green Tomato Recipes

Time 40m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 green tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch slices
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt, divided
2 teaspoons ground black pepper, divided
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cups canola oil, or as needed
½ cup ranch dressing
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce

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.
  • Whisk ranch dressing, cajun seasoning, and hot pepper sauce together in a small bowl; serve with the fried tomato slices.

Tips:

  • Choose firm, green tomatoes for frying. Avoid tomatoes that are too ripe or soft, as they will not hold their shape well during frying.
  • Slice the tomatoes into 1/2-inch thick slices. If the tomatoes are too thick, they will not cook evenly.
  • Coat the tomato slices in a mixture of flour, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. This coating will help the tomatoes to crisp up and brown in the oil.
  • Fry the tomato slices in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, as this will cause the oil temperature to drop and the tomatoes will not cook evenly.
  • Drain the tomato slices on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  • Serve the tomato slices hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Ranch dressing, ketchup, or sriracha sauce are all good options.

Conclusion:

Spicy deep-fried green tomatoes are a delicious and unique appetizer or side dish. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are looking for a new way to use up your green tomatoes or you are just looking for a tasty snack, spicy deep-fried green tomatoes are a great option.
