Categories     Appetizer     Side Dish

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.

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.

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.
