Appetizer Special Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Tomatoes

   Slice the green tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for about 10 minutes to draw out moisture.

2. 2

   Set Up Breading Station

   In one bowl, place the flour. In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk. In a third bowl, combine the cornmeal, salt, and black pepper.

3. 3

   Bread the Tomatoes

   Dredge each tomato slice in flour, dip into the egg mixture, and then coat with the cornmeal mixture. Set aside on a plate.

4. 4

   Fry the Tomatoes

   In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded tomato slices in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels.

5. 5

   Prepare the Topping

   In a small bowl, combine the crabmeat and banana pepper rings. Mix gently to avoid breaking up the crabmeat.

6. 6

   Assemble the Dish

   Top each fried green tomato slice with a generous spoonful of the crabmeat and banana pepper mixture. Serve immediately.
