Fried Green Tomatoes

Method

Fried Green Tomatoes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    Wash the green tomatoes and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Arrange them on a paper towel and sprinkle with salt. Let them sit for about 15 minutes to draw out excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In one bowl, place the flour mixed with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In a third bowl, place the cornmeal.

  3. 3

    Bread the Tomatoes

    Dredge each tomato slice first in the seasoned flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with the cornmeal, making sure to cover each slice evenly.

  4. 4

    Fry the Tomatoes

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded tomato slices in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  5. 5

    Drain and Keep Warm

    Remove the fried tomatoes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Keep warm in a low oven while you fry the remaining slices.

Zesty Remoulade

  1. 6

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, horseradish, lemon juice, paprika, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley.

  2. 7

    Chill the Remoulade

    Mix until well combined and smooth. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
